Performance Opportunities 2025-2026
A big part of Dance is performing!
It is important for your child to get to perform as often as possible. Learning the ins and outs of performing are as important as their weekly technique classes. Learning stage direction, performance etiquette and the intricacies of entrances, exits and costume changes are vital to dancers.

Children’s Christmas Performance and the Nutcracker Suite
All of the Children’s classes along with the dance company’s Nutcracker excerpts will perform for 2 afternoon events! This show involves no additional costumes. (Our spring recital will have costumes. This show is much less formal and is on a smaller stage so the children can have a first try in a smaller venue before the “bigger” show. There is still a ticket to purchase for this event.
Tickets are $15.00
Venue is TBA
The children’s classes will be broken up by day. The Nutcracker will perform at both performances but will be divided into two groups. One group will perform for the 130 concert and another group for the 430 concert.
