see the calendar for audition, rehearsal, & performance dates
Nutcracker 1918 – Our beloved Christmas tradition returns this December, but with a special treat: since we sold out last year’s show, this year for the first time we’re performing two shows!!! All Westover students ages 5 and up are invited to audition!
Valentine’s Dinner Theater and Choreography Festival – Our annual evening of student-choreographed works! All students will have the opportunity to perform, either choreographing a piece themselves or dancing in a piece choreographed by their peers!
Spring Production – Celebrating 15 wonderful years of dancing for joy! All Westover students have the opportunity to perform. As usual, we’ll announce at the Dinner Theater what show we’ll do this year!
Special Opportunities!
We have two extra special opportunities for our older dancers this year!
Romeo and Juliet trip – American Ballet Theater is performing Sir Kenneth MacMillan’s Romeo and Juliet at the Kennedy Center this February, and we’re taking a group up to see it! We’ll drive up on February 17th and see the performance on February 18th. Depending on how many people go, our wonderful alumna Ellen R. may be able to host us! Sign up by November 5th.
Ballet Magnificat! trip – We’re so excited to be partnering with our friends at Leaps of Faith Christian Dance Studio in Lancaster OH to host a special performance and series of Masterclasses with America’s premier Christian ballet company! Tentative plan – we will drive up on April 3rd or 4th, see them perform “Deliver Us” on April 4th, take masterclasses with the company on April 5th, and drive home on April 6th. Depending on how many people go, Leaps of Faith may be able to provide host homes for us. Sign up by February 1st.
