2026 Spring Recital for Saturday May 30 is SOLD OUT! Demand was high and tickets are gone for our Saturday performance. Tickets will no longer be available at the door on Saturday.

Due to demand,, we are opening up dress rehearsal as a working performance. Dress rehearsal is tomorrow (Friday night) at 5:30 at the Portland Theater. Tickets will be sold at the door for $20/each. Please bring cash only as credit cards slow down the line way too much. We will be starting promptly at 5:30 for Dress Rehearsal. DR is a complete show, but it's the last chance we have to adjust things, work out logistics, and do our last minute blocking or changes. DR is the same show, same order and same routines, just a little less streamlined as we work out some kinks. During DR, we run through routines in show order and may stop one and re-adjust something, we often times will circle back at the end and perform certain routines again. By and large, its he same show, with minor adjustments sprinkled in as we move along. DR also does not have our end of year awards ceremony.

We hope you will consider joining us for our working performance tomorrow night (Friday). This is the last chance to see the 2026 dance class before we break for the summer.

P.s. It's also the last chance to see our Michigan Grand Champion Title Holders and watch the dances that brought home first place awards all over the state this year.
