Summer Intensives & Dance Camp
Performances
Throughout the year, our students have the opportunity to perform in five exciting
mainstage productions at the historic Arkley Center for the Performing Arts, a 770-seat theatre that North
Coast Dance proudly calls home for our performances. Annual productions include The Zombie Ballet, The Nutcracker, The Holiday Dances, The Spring Gala, and The Spring Show, with past productions including Snow White, The Wizard of Oz, Alice in Wonderland, Beauty and the Beast, Peter Pan, and Route 66.
These performances give dancers meaningful opportunities to grow as artists while sharing their work with our community.
