At American Dance Studios, performances are not just an end-of-year moment, but a vital part of your child’s artistic and personal development. We proudly host two mandatory performance events each year that marks the milestones in your dancer’s journey:

Winter Show – The Nutcracker Ballet

Held Every Year on the Second Sunday in December

Our winter performance is a magical production that brings the beauty of classical ballet to life with our very own version of The Nutcracker. This beloved holiday tradition features stunning costumes, whimsical storytelling, and enchanting choreography for dancers of all levels and ages.

It’s more than just a show—it’s an opportunity for students to experience the discipline and joy of performance in a professional theater setting. Families and friends come together to celebrate the holiday season through the timeless tale of Clara, the Nutcracker Prince, and the Land of Sweets.

Year-End Spectacular – Passport to Dance Recital

Held Every Year on the Second Sunday in July

Our summer recital is a grand celebration of all that our dancers have learned and accomplished throughout the season. With colorful sets, expressive choreography, and polished technique, students showcase their growth and artistry to a cheering audience of family and friends.
