Winter Wonderland Holiday Showcase
Welcome to our annual Holiday Showcase! We hope you enjoy these pieces that our dancers and teachers have worked hard on over the last several weeks. You will notice several dances outside of the Holiday theme - these are our SMDA Company dances and their first chance of performing them. We are excited for them to be featured.
Enjoy the show!
