Demonstrations of dance technique in multiple  styles, strength routines, flexibility and spatial awareness exercises as well as excerpts of repertory, works in progress, and original student choreography. This performance is the principle fundraiser for Arts Alive.

An interdisciplinary showcase of the talent of our student body – including music, dance, theater, poetry, and the fine and visual arts. A 'capstone project' for our dance students, Arts Alive shows the technical skills and performance abilities students have learned over the course of the year. 

The Dance at Franklin Company is a group of advanced students who commit to attending rigorous weekend rehearsals. While working alongside local professional dancers, Company students have the opportunity to explore more difficult and daring routines in many technical styles including ballet, contemporary, tap, musical theater jazz, and hip-hop.

Dance at Franklin welcomes middle school students grades 6 - 8 who attend Summerstock & Youth Dance Camp to join Junior Company and rehearse weekly with our advanced dancers. Junior Company is completely free for students and their familes and Junior Company dancers perform in both Winter Dance and Arts Alive!
