"It is a real treasure to have such a production and such a school in our very own neighborhood."
HPSD Parent
Spring
Concert
Every year the Hyde Park School of Dance presents a lively Spring Concert. All classes are included, from Creative Movement to Ballet VI, Modern and Jazz. Participation is free, and there is no costume charge. The Spring 2010 concert was held May 15 at King College Prep High School.
Student Choreography
The
training at HPSD includes more than just dancing. The School’s
emphasis on original choreography offers students the opportunity
to actively engage in the creative process as they perform the works
of their teachers and learn the art of choreography themselves.
HPSD students are encouraged to present their original choreography
each year during Student Choreography Showcase as well as during
Spring Concert.
The
Nutcracker
The Hyde Park School of Dance presents a family-friendly production of The Nutcracker each December. A south side favorite, the show features 100 of the School’s students, guest artists, and a Pre Ballet Holiday Dance with some of our youngest students.
