Welcome
Welcome to Dance Through the Decades!
I’m so thrilled to have you here. Our dancers have been working hard to bring you a fun, engaging journey through time — from the elegance of the 1700s right through to a glimpse of the future.
Sit back, relax, and enjoy the show as we celebrate dance through the ages with plenty of energy, creativity, and a few surprises along the way!
