Revving up for Recital 23...


Are you ready for some dancing?  



Ready or not, we are less than a week away from our 23rd Dance Extravaganza. 

Recital Weekend is just around the corner!!!!

Why are we getting ready to have our recital at this time of the year?  Well, that question has been asked before...Here's the answer!


Here are some highlights from previous years to get you revved up for what's going to be an AMAZING weekend of shows!



It's an amazing sight to see all the groups, from our littlest dancers to our soon to be retired dancers,  come out during finale and share the stage. It's even better to hear them all scream in excitement after the curtain closes at the end of the show.


But, before finale there is so much more to see and experience.
Just before showtime,  the music starts with the curtain down....behind the curtain the dancers for the Show's Opening Number have been stretching and are now bouncing around, shaking out their limbs, and then....the dance that the audience will not see begins.... dancers, teachers, volunteers, and staff are dancing their hearts out to celebrate the start of another show!



During this weekend it is evident that dancers belong to a very special family. They work as a team all year for this day; they support and encourage one another.  Former dancers, some even flying  home from college, give their time to share in the moments the special weekend brings.  SOSD alumni reflect on their own precious memories of their performances as they help create new memories for our young dancers.

From the youngest to the oldest, the dancers are ready.  They've been working for a year on steps, technique, tricks, and routines... and they are going to entertain you with a recital that shows you just how much they've learned in that year. The smiles show just how excited all the dancers are to be performing.  The expressions the audience witnesses from the stage are priceless, but the pride on the dancers faces as they exit the stage into the wings is something difficult to describe.



The boys never disappoint and are known to be a crowd favorite!  Our little men add an engaging  energy to the stage!



Our award winning choreographers along with our amazingly talented dance family are sure to bring the audience through an array of emotions.


It wouldn't be a show without the support of the staff and the numerous volunteers that come out to help each year.  We wouldn't be able to do this without them. We also wouldn't be able to do it without all our dancers and their supportive families.  

We can't wait to see you during our recital weekend...

Don't forget to cherish this time with your dancers.  It goes too fast!
