Dance Expressions Recitals

The annual dance recital is at the end of the main season. It is a special performance where dancers showcase the skills and routines they’ve worked hard on throughout the year. It’s a celebratory event for students to perform on stage in costume, build confidence, and share their progress with family and friends. The recital highlights each class’s choreography and gives every dancer the chance to shine.

First Act – Seussical

The Cat in the Hat tells the story of Horton, an elephant who discovers a speck of dust that contains the Whos, including Jojo, a Who child sent off to military school for thinking too many “thinks.” Horton faces a double challenge: not only must he protect the Whos from a world of naysayers and dangers, but he must guard an abandoned egg, left in his care by the irresponsible Mayzie La Bird. Although Horton faces ridicule, danger, kidnapping and a trial, the intrepid Gertrude McFuzz never loses faith in him. Ultimately, the powers of friendship, loyalty, family and community are challenged and emerge triumphant.
