SHOW PROGRAM
Dear members of the audience!
Welcome to LaVida Dance Studio's "Winter Magic Showcase"!
As you may know, our mid-year Winter Showcases are crafted to offer captivating entertainment to our audience and motivation to all our students, regardless of age.
Serving as a common goal, these showcases ignite focus in class and provide a platform for students to display their hard work while expressing their love for dance. This event gives them the opportunity to perform on a professional stage, delighting their family, friends, and patrons of the arts. With your support, participating in staged dance performances offers children a range of valuable holistic learning experiences that extend beyond the realm of dance itself and encompasses physical, emotional, social, and cognitive development for children.
Each showcase strives to be a rejuvenating experience for the audience and participants, featuring festive costumes, an array of dance styles, and invigorating music sourced from around the world.
We genuinely hope you enjoy the performances!
- Sincerely, Natasha Maltseva, Artistic Director
