Wednesdays, 8pm | 677 Davie St | April 2- May 21st | The Dance Centre

The Session: In this performance challenge program, participants will exhibit their style and performance skills in TWO new pieces of choreography that will both challenge them and enhance their samba training by putting it all on display for a Summer Recital performance in a gorgeous professional theatre for their friends and family to attend on Saturday, May 24th.

The entire performance package includes 8 hours of in-class instruction, and an additional hour of dress rehearsal and an additional open-studio day of practice time to make sure you are feeling your very best before you get on stage. Students may also get other opportunities to perform at various festivals and latin cultural events throughout July and August (TBD). While attendance for all performances is not required, it is always encouraged to take all performance opportunities!
