Cora Dance seeks dedicated, energetic, and hardworking individuals to assist with preparation, execution, and strike of the 11th Annual Red Hook Community Prom.

The 11th Annual Red Hook Community Prom will take place on Saturday, June 10th, 2023 from 7pm-11pm at South Brooklyn Community High School (173 Conover Street, Red Hook, Brooklyn 11231)

ABOUT THE RED HOOK COMMUNITY PROM:
We’re back again with the 11th annual RETRO high-school-prom-themed dance party: THE RED HOOK COMMUNITY PROM! Sponsored by Apotheke in support of Cora Dance’s pay-what-you-can dance programs for Red Hook youth, this 70s-80s-90s throwdown will rock you like it’s 1999! What began as a community-wide spirit lifter after Hurricane Sandy has grown into a booty-shakin' throwdown dance party for the entire community, now revitalized after years of quarantining, testing, masking, and elbow bumping! There are no inhibitions on the dance floor at this prom, with a photo booth by FOBO Studios; live performances by Cora Youth Companies and Shannon Hummel/Cora Dance Professional Company; and throwback 70s, 80s, and 90s hits spun by DJ Robert Lux (featured at Lollapalooza)... and the punch may be spiked with the help of Red Hook's Dry Dock! Join Cora Dance and the Red Hook community to party the night away and to celebrate creating access to dance for ALL!
