Dancers lined the walkway leading into Michael's On East, greeting guests as they came through the door Feb. 6.Â
The dancers were part of the Sarasota Ballet's Dance-The Next Generation program, which uses dance to encourage at-risk students to continue their academic studies and remain positive about school.Â
