“Dream Big” Kick Showcase 2025

 

We are so excited to present our 24th annual showcase

“Dream Big”

Sunday May 18 2025

We are over the moon excited for our 2025 showcase!

Dance is a performance art, and the showcase is like our big game! Our teachers have worked hard choreographing routines that re-enforce basics, introduce new skills, and provide an opportunity to develop perforce skills.  Our dancers have worked so hard this year and are anxiously awaiting the opportunity to do what dancers do – PERFORM!!  We can’t wait to see all the amazing moments and memories created by our dancers!  Please tag @Kick_Dance_Studios and hashtag #DreamBigKPAS and share all your wonderful moments from showcase!

Reminder – photo and video are not permitted at Showcase. Each family will receive a free digital download of the entire show! Professional video is our gift to you!! Please put your phone down and enjoy all of our amazing dancers!  They have worked so hard all year!  We will be very strict on the no photo or video policy this year for your dancer’s safety – no exceptions.

Seating and the Order of the show!
Kick makes every effort to make the recital a fun day for both the dancers and the families.  Each act is about an hour and fifteen minutes long.   At the end of each act we dismiss dancers who have finished performing for the day from youngest to oldest.  At the end of each act, dancers are dismissed in order to allow every parent to enjoy their child’s performance.  (If we dismiss during the show, your view of your child could be obstructed from other families getting up!)  A variety of dance styles and ages are presented in each act.  This is for both the audience’s entertainment, but also to have a mix of ages backstage and to allow our dancers in multiple classes adequate time to change.  Our tiniest dancers need the most attention!!  

Dress Rehearsal Week May 5-10

In order to make dress rehearsals a breeze and stress free we have rehearsals during classes the week of May 5-10! During the week of May 5-10 we will have only showcase and competition classes (no technique only classes this week, competition dances will have rehearsal and we may add rehearsals for ASH nationals if time permits). A few class times may change slightly, please check back in May for an exact schedule.

Please arrive to class wearing your costume, tights (as listed below), dance shoes (the correct ones for class), and have your hair and makeup done as listed below! If your dancer has more than one dance in an afternoon, please have the second costume in a well labeled (your child’s name!) garment bag and we can help with changes!

  • Makeup/Hair
    All dancers (all ages!!) need stage makeup!  Kick stage makeup is black or grey eyeliner, black mascara, tan or brown eyeshadow, pink blush or bronzer, and red lipstick. No other colors please! Makeup must be applied at home and is required for both dress rehearsal and the show. 
  • Hair for Tutus and Bow Ties, #Danceclassremix, Princess Ballet, Shake it Up Ballet Tap, Mini Teams, Building Ballet, Hip Hop (Mondays with Miss Katie) and Pop Stars is a donut bun at crown of head. 
  • Premiere level classes and above hair is a center part low bun. No donuts please (All Premiere, Connections and Edge classes) NO HAIR CHANGES -BUN FOR ALL DANCES!
  • Please use gel, bobby pins and hairspray to secure.  Donut buns are available at Harmon’s, Amazon, or larger drugstores. 

Tights and Bodyliners Tights are required for all dancers in skirts, tutus, or shorts. 

  • All classes that wear ballet shoes wear Weissmans Prima Pink tights   Classes that wear tan jazz shoes wear Weissmans caramel tights.  Thursday Premiere tap wears weissmans black fishnet tights. Friday Ballet tap wears Weissmans prima pink tights and ballet shoes.  Hip Hop classes with skirts wear Weissmans caramel tights.  (If you costume is pants, no tights are needed) .  No tights for Acro.  Competition team dances wear what they have been wearing with each costume.  All tights are available at Kick and are $14.
  • Bodyliners are suggested for dancers with multiple costume changes (they are not needed for 1 or two changes) Bodyliners are $36 for the one piece, or $18 each piece for the 2 piece and are available at  Kick.
