On stage · 2026–2027 Season

Performances

Every dancer performs for family and friends. Our shows are low-key and joyful — a celebration of a year of learning, not a competition.

The Spring Recital — every class performs the dance it spent the year preparing.
Through the year

Three performances, each building on the last

Every dancer performs. Each show asks a little more than the one before it, so by May a stage is not a strange place to be.

Pumpkin Party

Our fall celebration and mini-performance. It is a special class where dancers play games and dress up, and parents are invited in for the last five or ten minutes to watch.

Optional — dancers are invited to wear a costume of their choice

Then · December

Watch Me Week

Our in-class performance, and the close of the fall semester. Family and friends are invited to sit in and watch an entire class. Each class works on a special Christmas dance and performs it at the end for the audience.

Date
Friday, December 11, 2026, during the normal class time
Attire
Dancers are invited to wear festive Christmas attire

Please note a change from years past: Watch Me Week usually falls on a Saturday, but this season it is during the normal Friday class time.

Finally · May

Spring Recital

Our end-of-year show. Each class works on a special ballet dance and performs it in the Sanctuary at Antioch Community Church, with friends and family invited to come and watch. It is the culmination of a year of dedication and hard work — and a very sweet morning.

Date
Saturday, May 8, 2027
Location
Antioch Community Church, Sanctuary
Costumes
Roughly $30–40, collected about halfway through the fall. Sizing information is gathered at the same time.

A dress rehearsal is held the day before, and there is a run-through for all classes at the end of April. Both are on the season calendar.
