We Are... Halestone.

Halestone’s annual spring recital “We Are… Halestone” celebrates the individuality of our students and explores our capacity to dance together as a community through our concert’s theme: identity.

The concert features choreography by Artistic Director Mauri Connors, Teaching Artist and Studio Manager Elizabeth Becker, Teaching Artists Riley Kuehner and Ashley Shugart, with additional direction by McKelvey Courtney Collins; Board Member Stephanie Hodde, and Graduating Seniors: Riley Kuehner, Caroline Lauck, and Abigail Lynch. Student dancers provide additional choreography and collaborative artistic input. 

The concert features performances by all of Halestone’s yearly dance classes.

Tickets:

Tickets are 15$ per carload, no matter how many people are in the car. Tickets will cover the costs associated with putting on this event – $10 will go to support Halestone and $5 will go to support Boxerwood. 

Our usual recital fee tickets were not part of this year’s recital fee, so all families with dancers in the show should buy tickets ahead of time to the shows they would like to see. If cost is an issue, please contact us. 

While we will sell tickets at the door, it is extremely helpful to us if you buy tickets online ahead of time. This also means we can admit folks and park cars faster, which means shows that start on time.  

Ticket sales will be available online from April 9th through May 13th (dress rehearsal). After May 13th you will need to buy tickets when you arrive.
