We provide our students with performance opportunities throughout the dance season to enhance their skills and boost their self-confidence.
Elite Team Showcase
Our Competitive Team dancers take the stage in February each year, as a part of their preparation for the upcoming competitive season. There are many benefits to the Competition Team Preview Performance, some of which are as follows:
- Dancers perform on stage prior to the competition season,
- Students can learn proper spacing on the stage,
- Friends and family can view all of your child’s competition routines all at once,
- Students can get pumped up and excited for the competition season with support from friends and family in the audience!
Saturday, February 8, 2025 at 12pm (ET) and 4:30pm (ET) (Please check the showcase order emailed for which show your dancer is in).

Parent Viewing Week(s)
You are invited to attend our Parent Viewing Week the week before Halloween and the last week of the Fall Session before our Christmas Break to watch your child performing a holiday dance routine. Please arrive 10 minutes before the end of your child’s dance class. Costumes are not provided (Students may wear their Halloween costume for the first viewing week, and may dress festively i.e. wear red skirt, a santa hat or antlers etc. for the second viewing week). In lieu of tickets, non-perishable food is collected for local Food Banks.
Dance with Me Performance
Our Dance with Me students will do an in studio performance (instead of performing onstage). This will ease our youngest dancers into performing for parents only, in a comfortable atmosphere that they are used to. They will perform in their usual dancewear, and there is no recital fee for this class.
End-of-season Recital Performances
The opportunity to perform in a recital is an exciting, empowering and confidence-building part of the training process. Recitals are a wonderful way for our students to learn about the theatre, rehearsals and teamwork while they enjoy the opportunity to perform on stage in a pretty costume! We love giving all students the chance to perform for their family and friends in this supportive and fun environment, and encourage even our youngest and newest performers to be involved.
Mini-Recital
Our Pre-Level classes and Thursday classes perform in our Mini Recital, a shorter performance designed to keep things stress-free for our little dancers. The show typically runs for about an hour, ensuring a fun and enjoyable experience for everyone.
Thursday, June 12, 2025. Ancaster Memorial Arts Centre 357 Wilson St E, Ancaster, ON L9G 2C1
Annual Recital
The Annual Recital is held at the end of the Dance Season and allows students to show off their skills for family and friends. Performing on stage will be a magical experience for your child, and is eagerly anticipated by our students. This is without a doubt the highlight of our year and we are giddy with excitement to show you how hard our dancers have been working!
Sunday, June 15, 2025. Please refer to the performance order to ensure you purchase tickets to the show your child is performing in, as there are 3 different shows on this date. Ancaster Memorial Arts Centre 357 Wilson St E, Ancaster, ON L9G 2C1
