Our recreational classes and competitive teams perform in two seasonal recitals. The “Holiday Showcase” is a digital dance experience that is filmed in the studio during class time in December, then edited into a dance film compilation. The Spring Recital is a live performance, usually held in late May or early June depending on venue availability.
