Inspirations Dance Academy will debut its first performances at the new Savannah High School Performing Arts Center this weekend, marking the start of the academy's competition and recital season.
The event series begins Friday, Jan. 16, with the Inspirations Competition Team’s Dance Team Showcase. Organized as an open dress rehearsal, the showcase provides a preview of the routines the team will take to regional competitions in the coming months.
The academy’s annual winter recital, titled “Happy Little Recital,” follows on Saturday, Jan. 17. The performance features color-themed music, including selections such as “Golden,” “Colors Go Pow,” and “Colors of the Wind.” Two shows are scheduled for 1 p.m. and 5 p.m.
Mary Ingersoll, owner of Inspirations Dance Academy, expressed enthusiasm for the new local venue.
“Having a beautiful facility right here in Savannah is such a joy,” Ingersoll said. “We can’t wait to kick off our performance season in the new space and look forward to future performances at our new hometown venue.”
Tickets for the winter recital are available for purchase at the door or in advance through the JoMo Tickets website.
Following the performance weekend, the academy will open registration for new students beginning Monday, Jan. 19.
