Showcase time is one of the busiest and most exciting times at Pegasus! We believe that the opportunity to perform allows dancers to develop their confidence, teamwork skills, and work ethic all while increasing their dance technique and artistry skills. But all of this can be stressful! This page is here to help you and your family have a positive Showcase experience. Please ask us any questions!
SHOWCASE THEME
This year's showcase theme is Dances with Nature! Each year we choose a new theme for our Showcases. This gives the teachers a focused idea to build on in their classes and explore through the choreography. This year's theme focuses on elements of nature and the growth that we have all had over the past year as we returned to our dance classes with less restrictions and more excitement.
SHOWCASE T-SHIRT
As in past years, this year's t-shirt is an optional purchase that can be worn over the dancer's costume on their way to the showcase. To purchase, please visit the online shop by Monday April 4, 2023 https://pegasus-dance2023.itemorder.com/shop/home/ Please visit the reception room for sample sizes.
JUNIOR SHOWCASE EXPERIENCE
The Junior Showcase is an in-house performance for the younger classes at Pegasus. We transform Studio A into a performance space so that the dancers can get a feel for performing in front of a large audience and show their family and friends what they’ve been learning all year, in the safe and familiar environment they are used to. The dancers are able to sit in the audience after their class has performed to watch the rest of the show. Each year, several of our senior classes also perform at the Junior Showcase, to inspire the younger dancers.
A NOTE ABOUT ATTENDANCE
Attendance at this stage in preparing for the Showcase is vital to a positive performance experience. Students who miss more than 3 classes after March Break may be unable to perform with their class. This is a team effort and every dancer is important to the process. It is at the teacher's discretion whether a student with 3 absences may still perform.
