Christmas Wishes

It’s a Christmas show like no other! Take a journey with us as Santa grants dancer’s wishes. Our adventure will take us to places like New York City, the North Pole and Santa’s Toy Shop. This variety show has something for everyone as the cast ranges from beginning dancers to pre-professional dancers and encompasses all genres of dance. Wishes’ family atmosphere continues when the Dancing Dad Elves take the stage!  

 

Absence Policy

All dancers are required to participate in all three performances and all mandatory practices. Dancers are allowed to miss a maximum of two Friday rehearsals (not including Mandatories nor Dress Rehearsals).
