We value performance opportunities as an important part of our students’ dance education. Our program offers a Winter and Spring performance for Sprout, Leap and Peak programs. A performance fee is required for participation in all performances. Participation is optional, but highly recommended.
*Extra rehearsals may be required outside of class time for more advanced levels or soloist/small group role
We also offer competitive performance opportunities with our Peak Company. For more details, please visit our Peak Company page under the Performance Tab and check out our current Peak Company Dancers’ bios and photos.
