Our peeps rocked it out at the May Spring Student Showcase. There were bowties, glitter, duos, juggling and a special appearance by BritBrit. I am so proud of everyone’s hard work. Here are some photos that capture each of our lovely performers.

Heliummm Student Showcase April 28, 2012
Once again the Heliummm Student Showcase was PACKED with friends and admirers. We definitely need a bigger space for our fall show!
Our performers did an outstanding job. It’s amazing to see how much progress was made from November’s performance. All those pull-ups and classes are paying off! Jack, Kealani, Laura, Lauren were our most excellent veterans. And, we welcomed a few first-timers: Dan, Erin, Heather, Jamie, Julie, Michelle, Tatiana.
And, thanks to all those who helped us raise money for the Reciprocity Foundation, a world-class, nonprofit organization that helps homeless, runaway, and foster care youth from all five NYC boroughs to realize their full potential.
