 We invite you to join us for Creative Arts Youth Dance Company’s Spring Showcase!

Our Ballet students will be presenting an abridged version of “The Sleeping Beauty” accompanied by Pyotr Tchaikovsky’s familiar music.  Our Modern dance program features the beginning, intermediate, and advanced classes as they take a sojourn into ancient Egypt.  Tap will be performing rhythm and broad way tap styles.  We will proudly present two performances, both in the auditorium at 428 S. Oak St in Bluffton.
