Dance Showcase
Students present a piece they've learned & rehearsed for a culminating performance on May 9

Dance Showcase is more than just a performance—it’s an unforgettable journey! From the camaraderie built in rehearsals to the thrill of performing on stage under the lights, students experience the joy of collaboration, the energy of live performance, and the pride of sharing their hard work with family and friends. Dance Showcase is a way for students to prepare a performance without interfering with valuable learning and technique in the classroom. Perfect for both aspiring performers and those looking for a unique and inspiring experience, Dance Showcase promises a fun, rewarding opportunity to shine in the spotlight and make lasting memories.
Participation in Dance Showcase is open to students ages 5–18 who are currently enrolled in the corresponding dance technique class at COCA. Registration for 2026 Dance Showcase is now open.
