The USA International Ballet Competition CityDance program is completing its second year of a three-year grant from the Community Foundation of Greater Jackson. Through the support of CFGJ and other grantors, including the Mississippi Arts Commission and Greater Jackson Arts Council, CityDance provides ballet instruction, dance wear and dance shoes to approximately 80 students from the Jackson Public Schools. Classes are held after school at the Mississippi Arts Center in downtown Jackson. CityDance students, under the direction of instructor Kathryn Wilson, will present their 2017 recital at 6 p.m. Thursday, May 18, at the Belhaven University Center for the Performing Arts.
