2026–2027 Season
Season
Performances
From in-studio showcases to community stages, our dancers perform throughout the year — building confidence, artistry, and lifelong memories.
About Performing
Performance Opportunities
At Southern Soleil Studio, we believe performing is one of the most rewarding parts of a dancer's journey. The stage provides opportunities to build confidence, develop artistry, strengthen teamwork, and create lifelong memories.
Our dancers have the opportunity to perform throughout the season in a variety of settings — from community events to theater productions — gaining valuable performance experience while sharing their love of dance with others.
Performance opportunities may include
- Fall In-Studio Showcase
- Winter/Holiday Performance
- Spring Performance
- End-of-Season Recital
- Community performances
- Festivals and parades
- Outreach events
- Demonstrations and showcases
- Studio events
- Special guest performances
Our goal is to provide meaningful performance experiences that inspire dancers to grow both on and off the stage while celebrating the joy of performing together.

At the audition, each auditioner will fill out an availability calendar. Rehearsals will begin in October, varying between Friday and Sunday.
Dancers who are available the week of September 21 will start rehearsals when available that week.
Following the make-up audition on August 29, we will finalize casting. A cast list and preliminary rehearsal schedule will be sent approximately one week after the make-up audition.
If you find the commitment won't work once you receive the rehearsal schedule, your dancer may withdraw.
Adults
Adult Volunteers & Participants
We would love to have adult dancers, parents, and community members involved in the production. Whether you're interested in performing, helping backstage, assisting with costumes, or volunteering in another capacity — your support is warmly welcomed.
Adults interested in performing should be ballet, jazz, or tap dancers.
