Each year the students focus their skills to perform in the June Recital.  The recital typically takes place in a fully equipped local theater with lighting, sound, costumes, and makeup.  Students perform before an enthusiastic audience of extended family and friends.

Step-by-step the choreography comes together to produce each memorable number and make best use of everyone's talent and training. Everyone sparkles.

Nutcracker! Magical Christmas Ballet (Nutcracker) is coming to Saratoga School of Dance each season and they look for local ballet students to perform alongside the professionals. Youths (ages 6 to 18) are invited to audition to be Party Children, Small Mice, Snowflakes, Snow Maidens and more roles through Nutcracker! Magical Christmas Ballet’s community engagement “Dance with Us” program. Auditions are led by a ballet company member and Saratoga School of Dance.

Each year during National Dance Week,  many of our students dance in a public performance produced by the sjDANCEco Festival.  Typically the festival is produced at a large, public venue like Santana Row shopping center, Eastridge, etc.  Our dance teams are always crowd pleasers. Here is one of the dance teams backstage ready to go on.

The Saratoga School of Dance has three competition teams: The Mini, The Petites, and The Senior/Legacy team.

A Lyrical Winning Performance

We are always on the lookout for the chance for our students to perform in the community, which offers valuable stage experience, builds teamwork and confidence, and is fun, fun, fun. No one is required to perform. Here is a picture of two of our dancers on-stage at a Christmas in the Park performance. 

During a normal summer (mid-June to the end of July) unencumbered by Covid-19, The Saratoga School of Dance offer 8 to 13 summer camps.  The camps have different themes. For example, Dance and Art, Princess Dance Camp, Pamper Me Princess Camp, Glam Girls Camp, and others.  For the summer of 2020 we are exploring the possibility of virtual camps.
