Five performances will be given – one (1) on Thursday night at 6:45, two (2) on Friday at 6:45pm and 8:45pm and two (2) on Saturday at 6:45pm and 8:45 pm. Tickets are $20.00 for adults, $10.00 for students and can be purchased at the Studio about three (3) weeks before the performance.

We will be selling beautiful flowers to give to your dancer. The money from the flowers is used to provide scholarships for children who might not otherwise be able to afford dance lessons. You will find order forms for the flowers in the conference room. Please consider ordering your flowers from us rather than Kroger or other places, as it is for a very good cause.

We recommend you bring a chair to sit in while waiting in line before the show. The lines are usually long, and you will be more comfortable if you must wait in line for an extended time. You must leave your chair outside the theatre, but please remember to take it home!
