At the Orange Rotary Breakfast Meeting on August 15, 2017 the guest speaker was Demetia Hopkins-Greene, native of Orange and recently appointed Artistic Director of the Orange School of Performing Arts. Mrs. Hopkins-Greene delighted the group with stories about her professional journey beginning with dancing in Orange, her education in New York at the Ailey/Fordham B.F.A School and later to her worldwide tour dancing with the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater.
