Two or three final, public performances will be scheduled along with a cast party and refreshments.
Let’s Dance
   
Year round evening and Saturday classes focusing on ballet, modern, jazz and lyrical. Recitals provide students, family and friends with a spectacular experience.

College preparation program- The name of our college preparation program is: The Intersection (where needs and opportunities meet). During the school year, the program serves young adults ages 16-25 from low-income families, and young adults from families in which neither parent holds a bachelor’s degree. The goal of The Intersection is to increase the rate at which participants complete secondary education and enroll in and graduate from institutions of post secondary education.The Intersection activities include: going on college visits, participating in service projects, ACT and SAT preparation, and more.
Target Opening
Our targeted grand opening is July 2012! The positive and supportive atmosphere of The Flow Zone Arts and Outreach Center is a much needed alternative to the violence, drugs, truancy and poverty, which have become neighborhood trademarks in parts of Tulsa county.
