Our dance program ... 
We provide a year-round program, September to August. Each week builds upon the prior week, and each session advances with more difficult moves and technique. Students showcase their progress in our annual recital, which will be on Sunday, June (TBD), 2024. The Nutcracker will be performed on Sunday, December (TBD), 2023. Both performances will be held at the Oak Lawn Community High School.
