Upcoming Performance Information
Our performances are the culmination of the previous 6 months of instruction. It is your dancer’s chance to show off everything they have been learning in class. We are holding our next performance at Zohar School of Dance in Palo Alto, CA.
Current Focus: Ballet

PERFORMANCE PATCHES
Every dancer that participates in our performances earns a custom patch for that show! Each patch is designed to match the show’s theme. Dancers love adding them to their dance bags, backpacks or almost anywhere else!

Frequently Asked Questions
My dancer has never been on stage before. What can I expect?
Our performances are a wonderful, stress-free way to introduce your dancer to theatre and stage. The experience will build their confidence and give them a better understanding of what to expect as they progress to older programs. The dancers will be lead by up to 5 teachers on stage, and will always have someone close by to help. While every dancer will react differently to being on stage, the majority of the kids (and parents) have a great experience.
How long are the performances?
Each performance lasts about 30 minutes.
How many dancers are on stage at once?
We allow a maximum of 22 dancers on stage per showtime. Along with about 90 members of the audience.
Are there extra rehearsals outside of class?
No. All preparations for the performance will happen in class.
