At Main Stage Dance, our students have the opportunity to showcase their hard work and passion in two full-scale performances each year—one in the winter and one in the spring. Each recital is a professionally produced event held in a real theater, giving every dancer the chance to shine on stage.
Throughout the season, dancers work on two choreographed routines per class, building confidence, stage presence, and a strong sense of accomplishment. These performances are more than just fun—they’re a meaningful milestone in each child’s growth as a performer.
