Our most Frequently Ask Virtual Gala Questions Answered Here!
What is a Virtual Gala?
A Virtual Gala is our way of hosting our Year-End Gala this year.
With our current situation, of practicing physical distancing, it is not possible for us to host our Year-End Gala as we normally would. We wanted to make our end of season celebration something to remember and to acknowledge our dancers hard work and dedication.
We will be asking parents to record their dancer in costume performing their dance(s) and send them to us. Click Here for recording tips.
Once we received everyone's video, we will create a montage of each group and put them all together as if you were watching a recording of our in-person Gala. We are looking at different options to have a viewing party.
The clip below will give you an idea of what dances will look like in our Virtual Gala will look like.
