PRODUCTION PHILOSOPHY
Margie Shortt Dance Studio provides students with an exciting performance experience through its final Production in our annual showcase of the dance school. The production offers our students a professionally directed performance that allows them to present to their families and friends the results of a year’s hard work, dedication, and progress.
A big part of the dance training process includes learning through performance. This experience helps build self-esteem, self-assurance, and contributes to a sense of confidence. Although performance opportunities can help prepare some students for a possible career in dance, they also contribute to children’s success in non-dance activities. This onstage experience can result in better in-school presentations, improved social skills, and strong interview skills for future college or job opportunities. The rehearsal process is a tremendous learning experience as well. To have an audience support our dancers' hard work with applause is the greatest approval for a dance student and builds excitement and confidence for their art of dancing.
