Spring Concert 2024 | April 15 - 21, 2024

The Centre for Dance Education's annual spring concert will be held at the Sandy Springs Performing Arts Center on April 15 - 21, 2024. 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 will be included in the parent memo (distributed in early March), rather than calling the Centre. It has everything you will need for a fun experience for you and your students at this year's Spring Concert.

The Big Bun Theory: Braids, Bobs, and Bangs

Get performance ready at our annual ballet bun workshop! This hands-on workshop is FREE and open to the public. Learn tips and tricks to style your student's hair for their big show. Centre students and staff will be available to assist. All styles, textures, and protective styles will be addressed.

Saturday, March 30
2:00-4:00p

Concert Tickets

All tuition accounts must be paid in full by April 1, 2024.

If your account for the Centre for Dance Education 2023-2024 school year is paid in full, then your complimentary Spring Concert tickets will be automatically distributed via email at a date TBD. Each family will receive 4 tickets per show in which their student is performing. If your student is in additional pieces, you will receive two additional tickets per performance. A link will be included in your email to purchase additional tickets at $20 each.

- Ticket emails will be sent out on a rolling basis as accounts are paid in full up until the week of the concert.
- This is a manual process and patience is appreciated. Everyone will get their tickets.
- Theatre seating is open, meaning that there are no seat assignments: first come, first seated.
- Every person, including infants and toddlers, must have a ticket.

Tickets will not be available for purchase or pickup in person, neither at the Centre locations nor at the theatre.
