The Preparatory Dance Department prides itself on offering professionally produced and imaginative dance performances throughout the year, free of charge to all audiences. Performances provide an excellent opportunity for students to apply technical accomplishments from dance class to established choreography, as well as practice critical skills in presentation, performance quality, and artistry. The opportunity to participate in performances allows the student to share the craft of dance with those beyond the studio walls and is a crucial part in the development of a dance student.  

 The various performances offered throughout the year are geared towards different levels of students based on their progression of training and readiness for participation in the shows. Please explore our various performance offerings below and consider joining us as an audience member this year!
