2025-2026 Performances

Middle school dancers shine on stage with two exciting annual performance events:

  • Winter Showcase (Dec. 7–11): An in-house performance at our studio that offers dancers a fun, low-pressure chance to show what they’ve been learning mid-season and celebrate the holiday season.

  • Spring Recital (June 6th & 7th at Monacan High School): Our biggest event of the year, where dancers take the stage in costume under the lights — building confidence, pride, and lifelong memories. Middle Schoolers are eligible to perform in our Opener or Finale Production Number when they register for 2 or more classes. If you are interested, contact us for more info!
