Choreographer's Showcase


Choreographers: click here to sign up!

 

Performance Info 

When: Saturday, April 25th 6:30pm

Where: At Church of the Holy Trinity Sanctuary space with the stage up! 

We are excited to announce that the 2026 Student Choreography Project will be called The Choreographer’s Showcase!  

This performance will now include choreography submissions from ESB students, ESB faculty, and ECB company members!  We encourage all students in Ballet 2 and up (including our Adult Students!) to participate!  We feel it is so important for our students to have a chance to develop their voice (so to speak) by creating their own dance work.  This is a great show for a great cause, as all of the profits from this show go to our Scholarship Fund. 

There is a $30 Performance/Participation Fee for all students who are either dancing or choreographing. 

Dancers who are not performing in the Choreographer's Showcase are highly encouraged to come see the show and support your peers or make a baked good for our bake sale!  Tickets are $12. This is a great show for a great cause, as all of the profits from this show go to our Scholarship Fund. 

 

Special Opportunity for Ballet 4 through Ballet 10! 

It is a tradition at ESB for our seniors to choreograph a piece for the upper level students.  This year ESB Senior Rory Kimball will be setting a group piece on the upper level students, and we encourage all students in Ballet 4 and up to participate in this group piece! We are carving out a special free rehearsal slot from 9:45-10:15 am on Saturdays leading up to the performance.
The deadline to register for Rory’s Group Dance is Friday, February 13th. Rory’s Group Piece rehearsals will begin on Saturday, February 14th.
