Greater Lansing Academy of Dance
Dance Exhibition 2023
Thank you for joining us as we demostrate many of the great dance skills we have been developing in classes this year at the Academy! This Exhibition is just a small showing of all the progress and growth our students have made in classes.
​
Our philosophy at GLAD is that time in the studio should be focused on the technical and artistic development of the dancer, rather than spending months working on a "recital" dance. And for that reason, much of what you'll see should be viewed like extended combinations, rather than rehearsed choreography.
​
We also celebrate the hard work of the GLAD-Competitve team, which wraps up its first season, as routines take the stage one last time!
