The Big Show

Our annual recitals gives dancers ages 5+ the opportunity to show their friends and families all that they have learned in class over the course of the dance season.

Dance is a performing art, and we feel it is an important part of our students’ dance education to get up on stage and share their love of dance with an audience. The dancers not only get to perform with their class, they also have the chance to participate in the Daddy Daughter dance as well. All dancers who participate in the end-of-season recital receive a special token of their achievement.

Daddy Daughter Dance

The last dance of the show is the unforgettable Daddy Daughter Dance.

At Stage Door Dance we believe in creating positive experiences and lasting memories. The Daddy Daughter Dance is an experience that will last a lifetime! Spending time at rehearsal and working through choreography with your daughter is never time wasted. The memories of class, in fact, are as significant as performing the actual dance on stage in front of an audience. This time with your daughter is for you and your daughter… it is unique, important and very special.

Twinkle Star Showcase

Celebrate your Twinkle Star dancer’s achievements in class and watch them on stage at Showtime!

Showtime! gives dancers enrolled in Little Star, Twinkle Tot and Dazzler classes the chance to show their friends and families all that they have learned with a performance at the end of the dance season. For many students, this may be their first time ever being on stage! Our Dance curriculum is designed to promote self confidence in young children and getting on stage at the end of the year is a critical part of the program.

The Nutcracker

Each year, Stage Door Dance hosts a production of The Nutcracker for all Ballet dancers ages 5+. (Dancers 5 and under participate in Dancing Holiday Magic.)

The Nutcracker Ballet is based on the German folktale in which young Clara Stahlbaum’s favorite Christmas toy, a Nutcracker given to her, comes alive. After defeating the evil Mouse King in battle, the Nutcracker Prince takes Clara to a magical Kingdom populated by fairies and toys.

Stage Door Performance Company
Stage Door Company Performance Group

If your dancer loves to perform this group is for you!

Stage Door Company is our non-competitive performance group.  SDC meets once a week to rehearse and prepare for shows that we will be performed once a month (during our show season) at local venues such as street fairs, retirement homes, and the San Diego Fair.  SDC dancers will also have the opportunity to perform the opening and closing dances at our annual recital.  Our SDC dancers who are 7 and up can also perform in a Disneyland parade (as long as we have enough girls to meet minimum).

Attendance at all performances are required, however they are NOT mandatory.

Participants need to take at least one other class along with SDMC (Minis) and two for SDC (Olders).   They are also required to purchase a costume that will be used at the performances.

Note that enrollment for this class closes in September and that most performances are currently canceled due to Covid.
