Bi-Annual Performances
Be a part of the cutest performances on the planet! Our performances are designed to be joyful, confidence-building experiences—not stressful productions. Many children perform on stage for the very first time, supported by our teachers every step of the way. Families consistently tell us how proud they are watching their child grow in confidence.
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 25 dancers on stage per showtime.
Are there extra rehearsals outside of class?
No. All preparations for the performance will happen in class. Your dancer is not expected to memorize the dances but it does help to practice at home. They will follow along with the teachers on stage.
Dancing is more fun with friends!
Before selecting your show time, check in with friends in your dance class so you can sign up together. Sharing the stage with a familiar face can help dancers feel more comfortable and ease those show-day jitters!
Should I pick the show my teacher is leading?
In most cases our entire teaching staff will be available at all shows. The teacher leading the show will be at the front of the group leading all dancers. If you believe your dancer will need extra support from their particular teacher, you may want to select a show time your teacher IS NOT leading as they will have more freedom to move around the stage to help individual dancers.
Please note participating in the show is optional, but very fun!
