We are so excited for our 2021 Winter Showcase. The Winter Showcase is an informal showing where students share and perform what they have been learning this semester. This year’s showcase will be similar to years past along with some new and safe ways to enjoy dance together.

when is the showcase?

DECEMBER 11, 13-16

This year’s showcase will happen in person, and students will perform on the same day of the week that their class normally meets.*The only exception is Friday classes, they will perform with Saturday classes on Saturday 12.11.

To steward studio capacities well, we will split the traditional 1-hour show into two smaller 30min showings. These showings will be back to back and allow for each dancer to bring 2 audience members.

What about normal classes?

All classes that happen before 7pm that week are replaced by the Winter Showcase. Classes that start on or after 7pm will have class as normal. Classes this week are the last classes of the semester for Mon-Thur classes. Friday and Saturday classes will happen once more after the showcase on 12.17 & 12.18.

SCHEDULE

Please note: the schedule below is not show order. Show order will be posted for performers the day of.

  • We ask that all viewers stay for the entirety of the show to support all dancers.

  • Viewers who may have students in both shows on the same day will leave with the first audience and re-enter with the second to maintain a flow of traffic. Thank you for understanding.

  • Classes with A or B next to them have been split to make sure the entire show’s viewing audience would not break capacity. Teachers of that class will notify parents which show their student is in. We will aim to keep siblings in the same show.
