2020 Holiday Dance Showcase
2020 Holiday Dance Showcase was an evening of dance performances presented by DanceSport Club during Holiday Season. Holiday Dance Showcase is a celebration of dance. It gives students an opportunity to present their accomplishments. It gives parents an opportunity to be proud of their children. It allows teachers to showcase their skills as dance instructors. It allows people just sit, watch and enjoy perofrmances in a festive holiday atmosphere.
We want to send out a big THANK YOU to everyone who performed, helped or attended our 2020 Holiday Dance Showcase. It was a GREAT SUCCESS! We had lots of performances, lots of food, drink and good old fashioned fun! Thanks again for making this 5th Holiday Dance Showcase one to remember.
We showcased talented dancers of all kind. There were beginner students who just started dancing and are currently taking group dance classes. We had more advanced dancers who are polishing their moves in private dance lessons. We had people that dance for fun of social dance and we have people that strive to achieve better results at ballroom dance competitions. For some performers Holiday Showcase is the first time they ever dance in front of people, while others have done it several times.
We are very, very proud of all of our performers. They did a great job! For many of them this Showcase was their first dance performance since the beginning of the pandemic. They worked very hard and danced well.
We want to thank all the parents that helped with costuming and keeping track of performances. With that many children groups performing we would not be able to do it without you.
We are especially grateful to the staff, including our Master of Ceremonies, Music Director, Videographer and Photographer. You guys kept the show going very smooth.
We especially thankful to our food servers who undertook an enormous task of serving food. Due to COVID-19 regulations we were not able to have our traditional buffet. And had to serve “Dim Sum” style food to our guests. Thanks to our servers, they did not let us go hungry!
Last, but not least, we would like to thank everyone for wearing face masks, social distancing and taking other people into consideration.
Please enjoy these pictures and videos from our 2020 Holiday Dance Showcase! Held during COVID-19 global pandemic it will definitely be the one to remember.
