Here at Grande Finale we love what we do and because of that you will find that this is a busy place with a lot going on. We strive to provide lots of learning and performing opportunities for our dancers to help shape them into well rounded and confident individuals. So from a 3 years old who is just starting out taking their first dance class looking for yearly show experience or an experience dancers who wants to perform as much as possible or an adult who never had the chance to dance as a child we have a place for you! Below is a list of some of the shows and events we hold at Grande Finale to give you an idea of what we have available to our dancers.
