Each Fall semester, students from the Dance Garden audition for a dance performance OR Musical. We then take this show to local elementary schools as many times that we can book in a few days the 2nd to last week of the 2024 school year in December. We call this TOUR and it is the closest experience of what a professional dancer’s life is like that I can offer my students. Dance teaches self-discipline, strength and flexibility of mind and body, team work, self-confidence and an alternative way to deal with the stressors of life. Teachers and schools like our shows because they are unique in another way: children performing FOR children! The experience is inspiring for the young audiences watching and boosts the performance level of the DG dancers!
