HEIGHTS DANCE THEATRE
Offering Area Dance Students A Chance to Perform

The Claire School of Dance is proud to sponsor the Heights Dance Theatre, a performance training company for dance students ages 6-16. Dancers perform classical and contemporary choreography in three annual productions, The New York Nutcracker in December, a Spring Repertory Concert in May, and a “white ballet” for White Linen Night in August. Students may also have the opportunity to perform in community locations throughout the year.

Members of the Heights Dance Theatre are given additional opportunities for performing over and above those offered regular students at the Claire School of Dance. All students at the Claire School of Dance, ages 6 and up, are eligible to perform in The New York Nutcracker. Rehearsals for these students take place in class. Members of the Heights Dance Theatre are given additional parts in the show. Members of the Heights Dance Theatre rehearse for their additional roles in the Saturday afternoon rehearsals.

Eligibility requirements
