To receive the credit:
- Email us your ticketing receipt in May and let us know your siblings’ showcase times.
- Due to scheduling challenges with over 700 dancers, we prioritize family accommodations based on the registration date for the current session, as well as studio needs, and ensuring a diverse and well-balanced performance lineup.
Showcase Costumes
Same costumes from the Winter Show will be used.
Switched classes? If your new class uses a different costume, a new one must be purchased.
New Students: Click HERE for order details & deadlines (availability may be limited).
Showcase Routines
- Classes will continue working on their new Showcase dances while still continuing their technique training, across-the-floor combinations, and stylized skills.
- Not participating in the show? Your dancer will still learn the routine and be placed strategically to avoid formation gaps.
