Poinciana Academy of Fine Arts - DANCE As an annual project, the Poinciana Academy of Fine Arts (PAFA) Dance Company had another successful year, even though it was cut short by the pandemic. Fortunately, the school’s most important performance was presented on February 7, 2020 at Liberty High School, only a month before our country was shut down. The success of this show relied on funds received from the Solivita Performing Arts Council. Over 100 young dancers had the opportunity to shine wearing beautiful themed ballet costumes and accessories purchased from the monies received. Annmarie Morin, Dance Teacher 10
