Broadway, Here I Come!
“Broadway, Here I Come!” will be our end of the year recital/performance where the students get to showcase all that they have learned throughout the year by performing pieces made by themselves! Whether it’s a solo, duet or a whole choreographed song, the students are in charge of putting it together. This recital/performance gives parents a chance to see how far their kids have grown throughout the year. This also gives the parents that didn’t get to be a chaperone a chance to see the competition piece itself.
