SPRING SHOWCASE - Save the Date

(or at least make a note in your calendar)

Weekend of May 14-16 

Showcase is open to all students!

Registration Deadline:  All students are automatically registered

Every showcase is a fun, family oriented time of celebrating our students.  This years theme is TBA.  Each student receives a certificate of participation, and we highlight their achievements, evaluations and opportunities in which they have participated.  Family and friends are always welcome; we will give specifics once a venue is secured, especially if there is any limitation due to COVID guidelines.

All students are automatically registered for Showcase.  We've given the date range so you can keep an eye on that weekend.  Once the specific date and time is set, if for some reason you cannot be a part of our studio wide showcase, please let us know.
