Congratulations to all of our annual Showtime performers. You should be very proud of yourselves. Your 2 and 1/2 hours of dancing, during our recent annual production was inspirational. We received all positive feedback, and many registrations from eager, new students. Parents, a huge THANK YOU for your help and the impeccable behavior of your children, backstage. They were all so cooperative, quiet, and happy!  Thank you so much to everyone who helped on our Backstage Committee. Thanks to you, the show ran smoothly and a great time was had by all! 

About all of our Annual...  

"Showtime  Productions"                    

 

 

"Showtime" productions have been staged in professional, theatre venues, by our Dance Workshop's since 1968.  Our FLORIDA DANCE WORKSHOP annual Showtime is held  in Punta Gorda, in early June. While it is not required, it is recommended that all students participate to gain the full benefit of their arts education.

Even our tiniest dancers perform, joyfully, confidently and unassisted.   Dancers taking one regular dance class are featured in their routine or variations, in addition to the full cast, finale.  Only one costume is required, for each regular class,  and costume prices are kept to a minimum with accessories included. 

Our production has never been referred to as a "recital" since it is staged in a professional atmosphere, and features various combinations of Music, Dance, Drama, and, sometimes, Vocal entertainment.  Complimented by glittering costumes, professional stage scenery and special effects, the program is held to higher standard than that of a "recital".  Showtime is an artistically versatile, entertainment experience, thanks to the hard work and talents of its performers and dedicated, production committee.

Showtime has also featured the talents of many guest performers over the years, for example; American Idol contestant, Heidi Saldana, Movie Actor/Director/Vocalist, Ron Duquette, Naples native, Actor/Singer, Jeff Bradford, talented local performers including Joe Orlando, Michelle Ortenzio, Michelle Gellert, Michelle Robinson, and many more.  Many of our own Workshop dancers' talents have also been featured in guest roles, such as the wonderful vocal talents of our FSU student : Corinne M. Engstrom, BROADWAY Dancer, Marcus Bellamy, and Walt Disney World Dancers, Monica Edwards, and Tanya Welker just to name a few.
