PERFORMING ARTS DIVISION
For 2025 our Performing Arts Division will be held in Huntsville May 16-18.
We believe that Performing Artists deserve the same opportunities as Dancers when it comes to the chance to attend a fun, family-friendly event and Perform, Celebrate and Grow!!
SSDC is entering its 1th year and we have generated a very positive reputation. Our events are well received by the dancers, their families and the teachers. Our motto is Perform, Celebrate, Grow. This means the emphasis is not on “competition”, but rather on each performer having the opportunity to perform in a theatre setting, with a live audience and receive applause, rewards as well as lots of feedback to help them grow and develop their skills.
Many performing arts studios travel to the USA to attend events like this. We are offering this opportunity right here in Ontario!
