Celebrate International Dance Day with SJMA and New Ballet in solidarity with all of the high schoolers whose proms have been canceled—and individuals of all ages who are sheltering at home around the world!

Join us on Zoom for a virtual dance party with DJ Yas and special flash mob led by Emmy Award-winning choreographer Ben Needham-Wood. No previous dance experience required!

Enjoy pre-event video tutorials for DIY corsages, crowns, punch and snack recipes, makeovers, and flash-mob choreography. Post your prom pics at #PromNightAtTheMuseum to be featured on the night of the event!
