Ballet Day 2024
Dance Expressions’ 5th annual Ballet Day took place on Sunday, January 21st, to honor the late Miss Maria Vitery. Miss Maria was a beloved figure in our DE community, acting as a teacher, mentor, and dancer until she passed in January 2019 from TTP, a rare blood disorder. She inspired many, not only as an artist and educator but also as a scientist and a scholar at Johns Hopkins, where she earned her Ph.D.
