ALL PRESCHOOL  CLASSES

(including Preschool Musical Theater, N/A Big Sur Location):

Showcase Sat., JUNE 3rd

The $20 assessment for preschool prefix classes is “per performer”. This fee now includes an up to 10 attendee allotment per family. This recital is JUNE 3rd at our in-house theater at our Mission and 8th location. Please reserve the day. Each class will perform twice and then be released immediately after performing. Our updated plan now includes most classes performing alone so we could increase the number of attendees and stay under firecode. There are no tickets needed. Performance Schedule TBD. Each class is allotted 10 min. for their 2 min. recital piece. We hope this new format for our preschool dancers makes the performance experience accessible, relaxed, and FUN for our youngest dancers.
