Perform on the Big Stage!

Participate in yearly performances, like the Nutcracker and our end-of-the-year June Production! Dancers showcase their progress, dedication, and artistry in a nurturing, fun and professional environment. We encourage even our youngest and newest performers to dance with us. We all started with our very first performance, what a special day!

Our end-of-the-year June Production has a new theme every year! All child/teen (and sometimes some Adult) dance classes participate in the June Production, except Little Tutus. We can’t wait to see you shine on the big stage!
