As of yesterday, both of our seniors are officially graduates. 💙❤️
Congratulations and .ot_ We are so incredibly proud of you and everything this moment represents.
Watching you grow up, grow as dancers, and grow into the people you are becoming has been such a gift. Alegria has been lucky to be part of your story, and we are so excited to see where this next chapter takes you.
Both of these amazing girls are headed to Fresno State, and while we know they are ready for everything ahead, they will always have a home here with us.
Home is where your rump rests.
A few of our ICONS from ICONIC.
ICONIC gave us the kind of weekend we’ll be talking about for a while.
So many little moments, so much personality, and a whole lot of Alegria energy packed into one showcase weekend.
Can’t wait for the next one 👽

Showcase week is here, and the road to ICONIC has been full of moments like this.
Costume run through weekend gave us a first look at what’s headed to the stage. The studio version may not have the lights, curtains, or audience yet, but it holds so much of the work that brings the show to life.
We’re counting down all week with some of our favorite moments leading up to showcase weekend.
ICONIC takes the stage 5/16 + 5/17 at Turlock Community Theatre.
Tickets are available now.
Happy Mother’s Day to the moms, grandmas, aunties, bonus moms, dance moms, and every person who helps get our dancers through the studio doors.
From the quick costume fixes to the late night reminders, the packed dance bags, the car rides, the cheering, and the “did you practice?” moments, so much of what happens on stage starts with you.
We love and appreciate you more than you know.
One week out and somehow Showcase still sneaks up like we have not been talking about it for months.
Our Spring Showcase, ICONIC, hits the Turlock Community Theatre on 5/16 and 5/17.
Costumes are ready, performers are locked in, and the countdown is very real.
Tickets are available now. Come spend the weekend with us and see why this one is called ICONIC.
