The annual production of “Dancing Through Light” showcases the talents of students enrolled in The East Athens Educational Dance Center’s accelerated programs. This year’s production is a special tribute to the legacy of the program’s founder, Lois Thomas Ewings, who passed away in 2023. The program’s current supervisor, Nena Gilreath, recently won the Governor’s Award for the Arts and Humanities for her work establishing the Ballethnic Dance Company to support professional and pre-professional dancers of all backgrounds. Her production of “Dancing Through Light” will feature styles ranging from ballet and tap to African and contemporary, all with the aim to inspire and uplift audiences. Public performances will be held Feb. 24 at 7 p.m. and Feb. 25 at 3 p.m.
