This performance celebrates the hard work, dedication and commitment each of the students has made to themselves throughout the school year. Unlike many studios, ATDW doesn't begin working on these numbers until the end of winter and the beginning of Spring after all foundational technical curriculum has been solidified and strengthened. Performance dates are usually scheduled in Late May or in early June.
