Nutcracker
Each winter we celebrate the season with a holiday themed performance that includes a Nutcracker ballet. Preparation for the performance begins in October, and interested ballet students will receive information about the production at the beginning of the school year.
Spring Recital
Our annual spring recital in June marks the closing of the regular school year. Required costumes for the performance are ordered from outside companies in early February. Performance participation is not mandatory, however all students enrolled in classes during the months of January and February will be included in this costume order unless notice has been given.
Payments for costumes are due by March 15th and are the property of each student after the performance. Due to the non-return policy made by costume companies, WSD will also not offer any refunds or credits on individual costumes. Costume selection for the spring performance is the decision of individual instructors under the direction of the artistic director.
