In-Studio Performances
During our last week of the semester, December 15th-19th, GMPA will transform into a Winter Wonderland for In-Studio Performances! Families of dancers in the following classes are invited to GMPA to watch a performance celebrating everything we learned so far this year. Classes’ In-Studio Performances will be on the day of their normal dance class. Bus service and Aftercare will operate as usual during the week of In-Studio Performances.
Please refer to the schedule below for the time of each classes' performance, as it will differ from the schedule we've used in the past. Most classes’ performance time falls near the middle or end of their normal class time. Most classes will arrive for their normal class time and rehearse in class before they perform. In a few cases noted below, performance times are before normal class time and dancers should arrive earlier than usual. Please read the following details closely! Bus service and Aftercare will operate as usual.
New this year! Each class participating in In-Studio Performances will perform their dance in all three studios/rooms for three audiences of family members*. We are excited to introduce this new format to make the most of our studio space!
*Due to staggered class times on Fridays, Hip Hop 1 and Modern 3 will be performing for one large audience during the last 15 minutes of their class.
