What an incredible night! We want to give you all a huge THANK YOU for coming out to our 2024 Winter Showcase. With this being a 2nd showcase of 2024 and 5th showcase overall we are more than grateful for the continued support from our students, instructors , staff and family and friends that came out to witness this great moment! This Sunday's show featured 22 performances brought to you by some of the Bay Area's most dynamic and inspiring choreographers. Over the course of the past 8 weeks our in-house choreographers and students trained to bring you this show, presenting their skill and creativity with each performance. Sunday's show saw a total of 132 performers and a packed audience of over 350+ attendees. Our performers really gave it there and all brought some beautiful pieces to the big stage! A huge thank you to our Studio Manager and show producer Diamond Jarrell and Assistant Manager, Rhealyn for their hard work in bringing this show together. Lastly we want to extend our gratitude to the team at The Great Star Theatre for welcoming us through their doors for another year. The support from their team is always appreciated.
