Upcoming
Events
Our next event is our Annual June Recital to showcase all of the hard work the dancers have put in this year. Titled “Memory Reels”; it is a theme that allows us to rewind the clock and revisit some of our favorite songs & dances from past recitals. We will be going back to 2016 - 2022. It is held at the John Legend Theater (no John Legend will NOT be there) in Springfield, Ohio. There are plenty of seats at John Legend Theater so invite everyone you want; they are welcome to attend our recital. It is looking to be a fun recital you don’t want to miss out on.
