Children's combo classes (ie. Mini 2 Ballet/Tap) perform only one style in the Winter Showcase. They will perform two dances (one from each style) in the Spring Recital in June. Winter Performance fees: $55 for the first class per student, $40 for each additional class per student. Paired Jr. 2 classes count as 1 class, and must be on the same day back to back.
Paired Junior 2 Classes are classes that are back-to-back on the schedule (ie. Jr. 2 Jazz 10:00-10:45am & Jr. 2 Ballet 10:45-11:30am). These classes share the same accessories for winter, and feature a 2-in-1 costume in the spring.
Specific graded technique and specialty classes may be invited to perform in the Winter Showcase.
Mom & Me Dance is open to all students in Kindergarten & up (including Graded Technique students).
A Musical Theater Production Number will return this Winter! Be on the lookout for information on how to sign up in the Fall.

East County Ballet Conservatory at Expressions will be performing its 2nd Annual Nutcracker Ballet. This performance features dancers from our ECBC program and other ballet students from Expressions in 1st Grade through High School. Come and watch this holiday tradition come to life!
Community performances provide our students with an additional performance experience, helping to build dancer's confidence with being on a stage with their class, before taking on the big stage at the Spring Recital.
