Professional Photos & Videos are here! | 2025 Fall Showcase at The Great Star Theatre 🎉

What an incredible night! We want to give you all a huge THANK YOU for coming out to our 2025 Fall Showcase team. This is our 7th showcase and we are so honored to have such an amazing turn out and so much support for our instructors, students and staff. Our November show featured 19 performances brought to you by some of the Bay Area's 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 130+ performers and a SOLD OUT SHOW of 380+ attendees. Our performers really gave it there and all brought some beautiful pieces to the big stage!

We are thrilled to now begin preparations for our 2026 Spring Showcase at the Palace of Fine Arts. As we've graduated to a larger space, we want to extend a huge thank you to the Great Star Theater for their overwhelming support to our community. This season we completed our 5th show with Great Star and with the growth of our workshops and the show we are excited to enter a new space and continue the elevation of our bi-yearly series and event. More announcements about our 2026 workshop series and showcase will come soon. Keep checking this page and sign up for our newsletter for all updates.
