What We Do

AFH 2027 is supporting Workshop Houston!

Workshop Houston’s mission is to provide youth with creative, technical and educational resources in the arts. They offer innovative youth development programs through four studio/classrooms: the Beat Shop, the Dance Shop, the Media Shop and the Style Shop.

To learn more about the organization, please visit their website at workshophouston.com

In 2026, San Jacinto College South Campus hosted two days of master classes for the community and two evening concerts, plus a 10-day film festival- showcasing some of the finest dance artistry that the world has to offer! After completing our 11th annual event we gifted over $5,400 to The Dash Gordon Foundation! This would not have been possible without the support of our San Jacinto College administration, the dance community, and our donors.
