We are all excited to make this holiday season MERRY & BRIGHT! Our dancers' light sparks the holiday magic we all need. We are so excited to fill the house once again with an audience for our Holiday Showcase. This year the following groups will be a part of the Holiday Showcase: Teen/Senior, Junior, Petite, Mini, Nugget, Primary, Beginner, Kinder Dance and Creative Movement.
ALL dancers are to arrive at the studio, stage ready (with make-up & hair done). Teen/Senior, Junior, and Petite Company dancers will have a warm-up that will begin promptly at 1pm. All other dancers are to arrive at 2pm. Performers may have water and peanut free snacks with them in Studio C, which will act as the dressing room during the show. Dance moms only will be permitted into the dressing room and only if needed. All dancers will be dismissed following their final performance.
