Each spring Bremerton Dance Center’s school year culminates with a production we call Spring Recital. The recital consists of two parts. The first half of the show is the ballet portion which is themed around a children’s story and acted out by soloists and ballet classes through movement. The second half is the tap, jazz, modern, and hip hop portion of the show where each class showcases what they have learned through the year.  All enrolled students with BDC are eligible to participate in this performance. The recital always takes many volunteers in order put sure a large production. This is a great opportunity for dancers to gain performance experience.  Volunteers are used for sewing costumes, moving props, and watching over classes during the production. This production also requires the purchase of costumes, which the dancers get to keep.
