We’re inviting all dads to kick off our Showcase with a special on-stage performance with your dancer, in celebration of Father’s Day! No dance experience? No problem! We’ll keep it fun and simple. All Dads interested in participating must attend a rehearsal and learn a short routine for the performance plus review a video tutorial to practice at your own pace. Let’s make this a memorable moment!

Rehearsals will be held on Sunday, May 18th, and Sunday, June 8th, from 4:00-5:30 PM. Dads and dancers must attend at least one rehearsal but are encouraged to join both for extra practice and fun!

Join us for Donuts With Dad in the lobby following the show!

Celebrate your dancer with a custom Dancer Spotlight in our 2025 Spring Showcase program!
