The Verdi Square Festival, an annual series of free outdoor concerts by outstanding young talents, has been bringing great music back to New York’s historic Verdi Square (Broadway & 72nd Street) since 2006. Conceived of and managed by Upper West music lovers in partnership with the New York City Deptartment of Parks and Recreation, the Festival traditionally opens its season with an Opera program. Concerts also have included Jazz, American Musical Theater, Klezmer, and Bluegrass. Originally the Festival presented artists only from New York Conservatories. They now are joined by students from Boston’s New England Conservatory who regularly journey to New York to appear in one of the city’s most unique venues. Young artists appreciate the chance to hone performing skills before highly receptive audiences. Conservatories enthusiastically present artists for participation. The Festival has received recognition from the media (see Press Page) and Mayors of both New York and Parma, Verdi’s birthplace. The modest annual budget of the Festival covers artists’ fees and expenses, sound equipment, insurance, videography, printing, and website maintenance. The Deptartment of Parks & Recreation provides concert seating, stage, and manpower. There are no administrative overheads. The Festival is entirely volunteer-staffed. Supported by tax-deductible contributions made through the City Parks Foundation, the Festival now also offers special corporate sponsorship opportunities.

Nestled in the heart of the Upper West Side is West End Day School, an elementary school dedicated to the belief that children who have mild to moderate learning, language, and/or emotional issues can succeed and build vital academic and social foundations. West End Day School is a small, nurturing, specialized school for children who may not be well served by the conventional system. We offer a social and emotional perspective to learning while maintaining a challenging mainstream curriculum. Our teachers work hand-in-hand with social workers and other specialists to respond as a team to all aspects of a child's development. Children flourish here. Our school is a place where our youngsters can form successful bonds that perhaps did not develop in other school settings. Every day, they are given the tools and techniques they need to feel safe, to succeed, and to feel a sense of achievement. And they have fun learning and forming positive relationships, often for the first time.

Tap dancing is a wonderful way to introduce children to the world of DANCE THEATER. Children respond to the energetic physicality of tap while developing dance and rhythm skills, performance ability, and a CONFIDENCE in their own bodies. For younger children, technique is learned in a creative child centered manner through the use of singing, games, props, and dramatic play. PROFESSIONAL TRAINING, strong technique, rhythm, musicality, and the JOY OF PERFORMANCE become the focus for older kids and teens.
