Break a leg...
This is one of those weekends where, all across the country, dance studios are about to do the most magical, most stressful, most exhausting thing they do all year: their annual showcase.
Months of choreography, technique, and cleaning. Costume fittings. Tech rehearsals. The endless logistics of getting hundreds of dancers, dozens of numbers, and one auditorium aligned long enough to deliver something that, from the audience seats, looks effortless.
It is not effortless.
We see the work. And to every studio bringing dancers to the stage this month or next — break a leg.
A special spotlight on seven studios who are opening their shows with a Squirrel Trench Welcome Soundtrack this weekend:
• Misty's Dance Unlimited, Onalaska, WI (Movies)
• Dance With Kim, Lehighton, PA (Stars)
• Encore Dance Studio, Midlothian, VA (Iconic)
• Evolution Dance Company, Savage, MN (Queen)
• Miss Tanya's Expression of Dance, Nazareth, PA (Showstoppers)
• TDS Dance Company, Stoughton, MA (Colors)
• Valdez Dance, Valdez, AK (Broadway)
These studios recognize that a themed Welcome Soundtrack is the perfect way to start the show... welcoming the audience and instantly transporting them into your recital's theme.
We love creating recital Welcome Soundtrack, taking a Hollywood approach to their sound design with voice actors, sound effects and superbly mixed music. Theater rules delivered with personality. Seniors honored by name. Your staff and teachers applauded. Your studio parents thanked.
And then the curtain opens and your opening number ties it all together.
That's what every one of these seven studios will deliver to their audiences this weekend.
