Motion and Music Academy Students Perform at the Mann Center

June 2025

The Mann Center for the Performing Arts was filled to capacity for the Motion and Music Academy (MMA) student showcase!

Students from Global Leadership Academy, Global Leadership Academy Southwest, and Lewis C. Cassidy School took the stage to demonstrate their talent and growth.

The MMA offers high-quality instruction in drumming, step, and dance to students from Philadelphia’s Parkside neighborhood. Throughout the school year, students attend twice-weekly after school classes, building both skill and confidence.

The spring performance marked the culmination of months of hard work and dedication. It was a vibrant celebration of creativity, teamwork, and passion as the students wowed the crowd with their high-energy, joyful, and powerful performances.
