Dance Gala 2024
The Gala performed at the end of the dance year is a culmination of all the efforts and hard work that has been put forth during the dance year. The performance is usually held at the end of June/early July - the specific date is dependent on the "school calendar" and dates of graduation. Information regarding the exact date and rehearsals for the 2024 dance gala will be posted as soon as they are confirmed. If you have any concerns or impending conflicts, please notify Miss Susan as soon as possible. The dance gala is tentatively scheduled to be performed at the CM Performing Arts Center in Oakdale.
DRESS CODE
At Dance Sensation we do not enforce a specific “studio” uniform, for it is our belief that it is the child’s hard work and determination that makes him/her a dancer, not his/her clothes. However, it is necessary for Dance Sensation to apply a dress code guideline for the 2020-2021 dance year. It is important that students wear proper attire to dance classes in order to receive the best class possible in their selected dance genre. Take special note of the shoe color for each class as it will be most helpful when the recital season arrives. Please refer below for the proper dress code for each class.
