For Winterfest Weekend, DALA will be presenting the final chapter of our Nutcracker on “The Hill” Trilogy entitled “Sugar Plum on ‘The Hill’”. Oppie, Gwen Groves and the Spy have returned to the beginning of the story due to an unexpected time rift. They will need to make their way through the beginning of the original tale in order to get back to the Land of Sweets and save it from the Evil Sugar Plum Fairy. The performances will be held at the Duane Smith Auditorium.
DALA’s Winter Showcase will be highlighting all of its younger dancers at 2 p.m., Dec. 17 at the Duane Smith Auditorium.
In February 2023, DALA will present the Senior Showcase, a performance dedicated to graduating DALA seniors. There will be solos, duets, trios, and some live music performances.
For its Spring performances, DALA will present a full length classical ballet. DALA will be performing Giselle, a full two act classical ballet. There will only be one performance Friday May 19, 2023 at the Duane Smith Auditorium. Giselle is a romantic ballet about true love, beauty, and a bit of tragedy. This performance is a great opportunity for DALA dancers to take on one of the most beautiful ballets in history.
The traditional Spring shows will be a mixed repertoire of Modern, Jazz, Street Dance, Dance Exploration, Adult Ballet, Adult Tap, Adult Flamenco, and so much more. Performances will be at the Duane Smith Auditorium May 20 and 21, 2023. Don’t miss this great opportunity to support these exceptional dancers as they share their talents with you.
