Body as Voice—Young Dance Student Showcase

Young Dance proudly shares the dancers’ hard work in this year’s school showcase. Students and their Teaching Artists have created dances underscoring their artistry and the collaborative community that Young Dance fosters.

At Young Dance, each year is guided by a central theme. This season, we’re embracing Body as Voice, exploring how dance can empower individuals to take agency and find their voice, enabling them to speak up for themselves and others. How can dance be a tool in advocating for our needs and our community? How does the confidence we gain in dance translate to other aspects of our lives? See these ideas in action as Young Dance presents their annual school showcase at the Luminary Arts Center, May 15–17, 2026.

Due to space constraints, ticket purchases are initially limited to 5 per family. The remaining tickets will be released for purchase on May 1.
Please note the class name and day to identify the show(s) for which you are purchasing tickets. Some classes perform multiple times.
For ASL and Audio Description, contact [email protected] by May 8.
