See us on the Big Stage!
Every year, we put on multiple performances, which means you have multiple opportunities to light up the big stage! Whether you’d like to dance beneath the stage lights, or experience it in the audience, our shows are events to look forward to. We typically have a Nutcracker show in December, and a end-of-the-year production in June (known to many as the June Pro). Every other year, we will be having the “Spooky Nutcracker,” a Halloween show in October!

June Production 2025: Theme TBA
June 5th – 7th, 2025 (Exact times TBA)
Every year, all of our leveled child/teen classes work together to tell a collective story—with a new theme every year! Ballet, Hip-Hop, Tap, Lyrical, and Jazz dance styles all come together to celebrate dance and the end of the school year. Last year we did Cinderella, which was so much fun. We hope that this year will be even more magical! The theme will be announced in February.
If you want to dance with us on the big stage, sign-up for classes before March 1st!

There will be lots of fun and spooky things to do, so be sure to come in costume and dress to impress!
