Annual Performances

The culmination of the dance studies throughout the year is the Holiday and June Shows. The performances are intended to instill a sense of pride and accomplishment in our dancers. Show and rehearsal dates/times are mandatory for all students participating in any show. They are held the week prior to the performance.

Attendance

Regular class attendance is necessary to improve. Sporadic attendance is not encouraged and SDS reserves the right to remove any student from a performance/piece due to poor attendance.

​

Students that register after Sept. 30th may not be able to perform in the upcoming Holiday Performance. They will be eligible to perform in the June Show. Students that register after January 12th will not be able to perform in the upcoming June Performance. 

​

Summer classes are not mandatory at SDS for all students. However, we encourage our dancers to continue their dance education during the summer months.

Summer classes are mandatory for all students enrolled in the special ballet program.
