The School: Productions
Over the past decade, Excelsior School
of Dance and Performing Arts students have performed
annually in Christian ballets. Ballets have included
the Parable of the Ten Virgins, Pathways
to Wisdom, The Birthday Party, Deliver
Us, Esther, Creation, and Saviour.
Production information and photos can be viewed on
the Past
Productions Page of the Sonshine Theater Company
website.
These annual Christian theatrical performances nurture and help students share their message through dance that are used to reach into the community. For younger students, these performances allow them to be exposed to the higher skills of advanced and professional dancers - birthing their own vision. Performances bond students of all ages with an evident love and camaraderie for one another.
Other Performance Opportunities
Since 1999, older students and tap students have had
the opportunity to perform (along with Ballet Excelsior
of Houston) in Christmas Shines, a full theatrical
out door Christmas extravaganza. The performance runs
at least 6 weeks on Saturday nights at Old Town Spring
and attracts over 1,000 people each week. Not only
has the event proved to be a priceless experience
for the dancers but also a heartening family outing
and outreach opportunity for us as well. Christmas
Shines is presented by the First Assembly of
God Spring.
