Pre-Dance Showcase

Alice in Wonderland

Our showcase for our Pre-Dance Division students (ages 2.5 - 6) is a very exciting, yet comfortable experience for our youngest dancers. It is an optional performance opportunity for all dancers enrolled in the 2nd session. This on stage production gives dancers the opportunity to showcase what they have learned in an informal stage setting. Dancers are provided with simple costumes and headpieces. Our Pre-Dance Classes pair with our North Shore Ballet Theatre to present a classic Children's Story. Past productions include: "The Little Mermaid", "Little Red Riding Hood", & "Alice in Wonderland". These productions are fun and exciting for all; it will certainly put a smile on your face!
