We Value Performance Opportunities.

Each year, we host in-house Christmas Demonstrations, a Nutcracker Performance series, participate in competitive events, and provide multiple Spring Performances in May. We strongly believe that performance opportunities help to build confidence and stage presence within our students.  In addition to these performances, we incorporate charitable driven events to help build positive relationships among the students, parents, and staff at Variations.

Though the beauty of performance is breathtaking, most of the magic happens behind the scenes. The moments where we see students grasp concepts to improve their movement quality or simply challenging each other to strive to their fullest potential as a team. Our team interweaves the discipline of dance with an uplifting environment to help each dancer reach their fullest potential. We strongly value the classic tradition of dance while challenging them with work that reflects the versatility of the ever changing art form in an age appropriate setting.  

Nutcracker Season is upon us. ✨
