Spring Concert 2023 | April 10 - 16, 2023
The Centre for Dance Education's annual spring concert will be held at the Sandy Springs Performing Arts Center on April 10 - 16, 2023. Ten shows throughout the week will showcase all of the hard work our students have accomplished this year.
Please read the information on this page thoroughly and what has been included in the parent memo, rather than calling the Centre. It has everything you will need for a fun experience for you and your student at this year's Spring Concert.
The spring concert dress rehearsal and performance schedule are below. Locate your student's class by level/location/class/instructor and make note of your performance number, performance color, and dancer arrival time for your performance.
For additional information about the theatre, parking, hair, etc. check back here for your day-of memo.
*No regularly scheduled classes will be held during spring concert week. All rehearsals and performances will be at the theatre.
*Classes will resume Monday, April 17. The school year ends on Sunday, June 4.
