Spring Performance 2027

Our annual Spring Dance Performance will be held May 28-30, 2027 at the Acadiana Center for the Arts. Theater Rehearsals will be held at the ACA on May 26-27. The focus of the annual performance is to showcase the Dancers’ growth, to foster creative expression, develop performance skills and artistry, and to increase our Dancers’ self-esteem and pride of accomplishment. Our dance performances are story-based shows that generally last two hours, plus a fifteen-minute intermission. Student collaboration and input are encouraged in developing the performance ideas, story, and choreography. Details regarding the performance will be forthcoming later in the year.

Tickets to the Spring Performance are approximately $35 per ticket. All Tickets (including parent tickets) to our performances are purchased separately through the box office of the Acadiana Center for the Arts. Additionally, you may wish to purchase performance photographs, videos, programs, or other such performance merchandise that may be offered.
