Spring Dance Showcase

Our Dance students will be performing for the annual Spring Dance Showcase on Thursday, May 1st! Doors open at 5:30pm and the show will begin at 6:00pm. Dance students may either stay after school to get ready in the studio or go home to get ready. If they go home, they must be back at Hill by 5:30pm! Please remember to pack snacks and water if your student will be staying after school. 

Students attending the show (not preforming) must go home after school and can return for the performance.

As a fundraiser, dance students will have a booth with flowers available for purchase! You can either order ahead of time using the QR code, or in person with CASH ONLY. Flowers will be sold in bundles of 2 for $3. If you have any questions at all please email Ms. Schoultz, and we look forward to seeing you at the show! (kristen_schoultz@dpsk12.net)
