Be sure to mark your calendars! The HIS Dance Academy students will be presenting Hissy Goes to Dance Class for our May 10 and 11 "Showcase." This darling original mini storybook ballet will feature our favorite little mascot, Hissy, who has delighted students at the academy for many years! Hissy loves Jesus, Hissy adores God’s Word, Hissy delights in her mama’s honey, and Hissy is wild about dancing. By writing Bible verses on her honey jar, Hissy dances through life, sharing God’s message with everyone she meets! It’s not your typical “recital”... you will want to invite everyone you know to experience this beautiful message!

All students are expected to participate in the Showcase unless you let your teacher know otherwise. Class attendance is imperative. If a student has excessive absences, it is up to the teacher’s discretion as to whether or not the student will participate in the showcase. Mini Session students will not participate in the showcase. 30-minute class participation in Showcase will be determined in October and posted.
​
​We do our best to keep siblings dancing in the same shows to make performances convenient for families. Sometimes, this is not possible, and we apologize for the inconvenience. We schedule and post showcase information in October so that you may plan accordingly.
