Dancing Our Way into the Holiday...

The sights and sounds of Christmas are in the air here at DanceSport Carolina! And while we, like everyone, treasure the sounds of shoppers bustling and sugar cookies baking, OUR holiday sights and sounds are even more exciting! This time of year means our annual "Dancing in a Winter Wonderland" Holiday Showcase! For the staff and "veteran" dancers of DSC, this event is looked forward to from January 1st! Our studios are filled with the sounds of Showcase songs playing, routines being rehersed and perfected, and the very hearts and souls of our amateurs and pros being poured into each and every moment of preparation! Showcase is unlike any other event in that it is an opportunity to capture a student's (and teacher's!) unique personalities and incorporate other aspects of life and dancing into a performance. For the diverse and world-renowned group of pros on staff at DSC, this is a chance to share with their students (and a dinner theater full of spectators!) their varitey of gifts and talents that go beyond exquisite ballroom and latin abilities. From elaborate and unique costuming, to "Disney" caliber character and performing, our pros shine from the inside out, and guide their students to a new level of accomplishment.

Showcase is a black-tie affair! Here at DSC, we celebrate the holidays as they were intended to be celebrated: dressed to the nines and dancing the night away! Uptown Charlotte's most sought after theater is the stage on which our holiday show takes place! Stadium-style, lush seating, and a 4-course formal dinner are among the evening's highlights! We are uptown's most lavish holiday production!

Beyond being a lavish and exciting night for students and spectators alike, Showcase is an emotional event. As a studio, we never forget the blessing of being able to do what we love. We are all blessed with life and health, an outlet for our passion, and a community of people with which to share all three. God is so good to us each and every day of the year and our Holiday Showcase is a moment for each of us to be greatful for and truly celebrate this and the many blessings bestowed on our lives. Each year Thomas and Elizabeth select an organization or group on which to dedicate the year's show. In the past they have used the show as an opportunity to draw attention to and raise money for homeless children in Charlotte, and those in foster care. This year, the show will focus on our troops - past and present. They are chosing to remember, and hope everyone will join them, the families celebrating the holidays without their solider, and the soliders who have given and are willing to give their very lives for our country - the ULTIMATE Christmas gift.

For more information on our Holiday Showcase - "Dancing in a Winter Wonderland", please see your teacher, or take an information card from the front desk of either our Matthews or Lake Wylie studios. We look forward to seeing everyone there!
