The concert will consist of 15 dances choreographed and performed by students. One dance is based on the history of Community High School being the segregated Jones Elementary. It is choreographed by University of Michigan graduate students Jessica Post and Anna Jonkman.

Other dances in the show were choreographed by students from all four grades. They will showcase many different types of dance, from traditional modern to hip-hop and combinations of styles. To further showcase Ann Arbor's youth, Community High School’s Mari Cohen will read a poem and Alexandra Cubero-Matos will sing.

Congratulatory flowers will be available for purchase for $5 in the lobby after the show. A concession stand selling pop, juice, baked goods, chips and candy will also be located in the lobby. All proceeds made from the flowers and refreshments will support Dance Body.
