We’ve got some upcoming performances and events on the calendar that are sure to get you in the holiday spirit! We can’t wait to tell you about them! Check out what’s happening below and be sure to add these events to your calendar! 

Augusta Holiday Tree Lighting Performance

On Saturday, November 25th, join us for one of Augusta’s most treasured holiday traditions! The City of Augusta will be kicking off the holiday season with fun activities all day long, closing out with the tree lighting and fireworks. Each year, our DUPC dancers and select classes perform at the tree lighting alongside the Central Maine Twirling Corps. The performance will happen at approximately 4pm in front of the Old Federal Building on Water Street. For a complete list of the entire day’s events, click here! 

Holiday Performance at the Inn at City Hall

Directly prior to the Tree Lighting, our dancers will also be performing at the assisted living facility across the street from Old Fort Western. While this performance is not open to the public, we are excited for our dancers to experience the magic of giving and sharing their love of dance with the residents at the Inn. Follow along on our Facebook page for pictures of the event! 

You’re Invited to a Nutcracker Tea Party on Saturday, December 9th.

Again, this is one of our favorite traditions for creating holiday magic in our community! Each year, we host a marvelous event that gives our youngest guests a chance to journey into the land of sweets. The event will consist of a Nutcracker-inspired ballet class, crafts, and a tea party.

DUPC Performance at the Maine Bulldogs Game

After heading to our Nutcracker Tea Party on Saturday, December 9th, come join us for a performance at the Maine Bulldogs vs. 518 Ballers. The game starts at 4pm at the Kennebec Valley YMCA. Our DUPC Mini Team will be performing at halftime and they’d love to have some supporters cheering them on in the audience! Purchase tickets here! 

Have you marked your calendars yet?! The upcoming months are going to be busy for our dancers… but so magical! We’d love to see some familiar faces at these performances in Augusta.

Happy Thanksgiving to all of our DU Families. We are grateful for YOU!

After 5 shows and countless smiles, we couldn’t help but want to share some of the magic. This month’s blog post is a recital recap for those who didn’t get to see all of our performances, or those who love admiring our students’ successes as much as we do!

A Few Highlights from Recital 2022:

• 5 performances of simply STELLAR dancing! From our Twinkle Toes to our Adult Classes, our dancers exemplified the courage, dedication, and confidence that it takes to hit the stage! They danced beautifully and we could not be more proud.
• Congratulations to Bailee Roes, the recipient of our 2022 Cynthia Sproul “Dancing Heart” Memorial Scholarship! ​​This special award was created to honor the memory of Mrs. Laura’s mother, Cynthia, who lost her battle with cancer on May 22, 2021. Mimi, as she was better known, had a lifelong love of dance and shared that passion with Mrs. Laura.
• Over $3,000 in scholarships and prizes! We love recognizing our student’s hard work. Congratulations to Riley Fish, Alyvia Cleary & Elia Morgan, our top 3 scholarship winners!
• Keepsakes and gifts for our dancers. Each of our performers received a special Recital T-Shirt, full color Recital Program Yearbook, and a star dancer medal for their accomplishments this year. We love giving our students keepsakes to look back on their Recital memories fondly for years to come!
• Did you catch our 2022 Digital Program Yearbook? Click here to view and download our full line-up of cast members as another keepsake from this year’s recital!
• Some phenomenal sponsors! Follow along on our Facebook Page, as we spotlight each of the great local businesses that sponsored this year’s recital. 

Check out some pictures of the talented dancers, beautiful costumes, and sparkling smiles that made this year’s recital one of the best performances in Augusta!

As always, we pride ourselves in making the Recital Experience easy and affordable for parents. Our All-Inclusive tuition includes our students’ recital costumes, tights, accessories, keepsakes, and two complimentary tickets in our dance parents’ single monthly payments. On top of that, every dancer will receive a digital download of all 5 recital videos later this summer. Read more about our All-Inclusive tuition here!

As we close out the year, join us in celebrating a phenomenal end to the 2021/22 Dance Season. We’re sending a round of applause to our dancers AND their families. Congratulations on an amazing year!
