Why a performance every other year instead of yearly?

Our approach is to ensure that each student develops as a dancer. When preparing for a performance, a lot of class time is dedicated to learning and rehearsing material for the show and less time is spent working on foundational elements of dance such as technique, alignment, balance, & strength. Our dancers develop a solid foundation and understanding of technique because they are able to focus on these essential elements during non-performance years. We also value the performance aspect of dance as an art form and find that doing a show every two years is an ideal balance of technical concentration and artistry. Due to diligent work being done in the studio during the non-show years, our dancers improve drastically between performances and bring a strong, well-developed skill set to the stage. 

 Note:  On non-performance years, some classes will have a small Showcase in the studio at the end of the year (May) for parents to come to see what the dancers have learned and how they have improved.
