THE FINAL PICTURE IS HERE… AND SO IS THE BIG REVEAL

For days, we have watched the pieces come together. You’ve followed the clues, guessed the riddles, and patiently waited as our picture slowly came into focus…

This final picture holds a very special piece of our CDA story. It features our very own Mrs. Kerrie, years ago, as she performed this timeless classic on stage. A story that once inspired her as a dancer is now one she gets to share with a whole new generation of dancers.

And now, the moment we’ve been waiting for has arrived.

Calera Dance Academy proudly presents our 2027 Recital Production…

🌹🐇ALICE IN WONDERLAND! ☕️🎩

Get ready to tumble down the rabbit hole into a world of curious adventures, unforgettable characters, whimsical choreography, and magical music. We cannot wait to bring this beloved story to life on stage with all of our incredible dancers!

We might be entirely bonkers… but I’ll let you in on a little secret all the best people are and we can’t wait to share this adventure with you! 🫖♠️📖

Another day, another step closer to the reveal…

The picture is slowly taking shape, and before long, the final picture will be crystal clear… and so will this year’s recital theme.

Clue #3
You can ask impossible questions,
celebrate ordinary days,
and nonsense somehow makes perfect sense.

Another week… another piece of the puzzle.

Our 2027 recital theme is coming into focus one pixel at a time….

Clue #2 Sometimes the only way to find your destination…is to lose your way first.

Some of the best leaders start by lending a helping hand.

The CDA Teacher Assistant Program is designed for dedicated dancers ages 11+ who are ready to grow beyond the classroom. Through hands-on training, mentorship, and leadership opportunities, our assistants play an important role in helping our younger dancers learn and thrive.

Applications are now open. We can’t wait to see who steps into this exciting opportunity!

BIG NEWS….We’re doing something we’ve never done before…this year, we’re revealing our recital theme early!

But where’s the fun in simply telling you?

Starting today, we’ll be sharing one pixelated photo every few days. With every new clue, the image will come a little more into focus until our 2027 recital theme is finally revealed.

Clue #1 Sometimes the greatest adventures begin with a single curious step into the unknown.

There’s still time to sign up!
