PEROFRMANCE OPPORTUNITIES
We are so excited to offer our Recreational students two different performance opportunities during our season! Our first performance opportunity is a Holiday Showcase Week that takes place during the month of December. During this week, we invite friends and family to come watch the last 10 minutes of their dancer's class and see a fun performance! The second performance opportunity is our Spring Showcase that takes place at the end of our season in June. This is our biggest performance and an integral aspect of our program! In this performance we offer students the benefits of a full dance and performance experience. Students perform with professional lighting, a large stage, graduated seating, sound systems, and professional video recording.
