PERFORMANCE OPPORTUNITIES
Sharon's School of Dance produces a RECITAL once every two years during the second weekend in May (Mother's Day weekend). The 2024-2025 dance season is a Recital year. Every class at Sharon's School of Dance will have a performance number in Recital, and all students are strongly encouraged, though not required, to participate. Recital is held at a theatrical venue such as the Historic Sidney Theatre or Sidney High School Auditorium. Costumes are purchased by the students to wear for the performance and to keep afterward. Recital participation and costume fees are additional costs, and have firm due dates. Students must be enrolled by the start of 3rd Quarter to be eligible to participate in Recital and are subject to the availability of costumes if they've already been ordered. We will do everything possible to ensure all students are able to participate in Recital.
In 2022, Sharon's School of Dance also began presenting a Spring Showcase to provide graduating students the opportunity for a formal year-end performance. The Showcase features Sidney Dance Company students as well as students taking advanced level classes at Sharon's School of Dance. While smaller in scope than a full Recital, Showcase offers younger students the chance to watch the older, more experienced dancers perform and learn about the opportunities and expectations for Sidney Dance Company students.
For all other classes in Showcase years, an informal In-Studio Showcase allows family
and friends to see what the students in each class have learned throughout the year.
This is a FREE performance hosted at Sharon's School of Dance and takes place
in the evening during the last week of class for the season.
Students who attend classes at Sharon's School of Dance are invited to audition for
Sidney Dance Company productions throughout the season. All SDC productions require students to attend rehearsals and performances outside of their regular class times.
