| Each year we present a themed dance recital at the lovely and newly renovated Ruth Eckerd Hall in Clearwater, FL. This years theme was celebrating our 20th anniversary - 20 Years and the Show Goes On. Each class showcased a terrific and entertaining number in either ballet, tap, jazz, hip hop, lyrical or contemporary. The Suncoast Academy of Dance staff and backstage volunteers did a great job of encouraging the dancers and organizing a fabulous show and experience for the audience and dancers.
