Each performance is designed to showcase our individual students’ strengths, abilities, and talents. Our Directors and Instructors work very hard creating shows for the dancers of “Dance Theatre Fairbanks”. Every child is important! Instead of making them conform to set material, our staff create and mold a story to fit around the strengths and talents of the dancers as individuals. This gives every dancer a moment in the spotlight. Months are spent writing a script, and finding and editing music to fit the story. From there the choreography is created for the students. Costumes, make-up, sets and lighting come together to create a delightful production for all ages. EVERY dancer is important to the success of our shows!
