This coming weekend a holiday tradition comes back to the Concord Auditorium. Dancers of all ages from Concord Dance Academy will be performing to many popular Holiday hits. Songs such as, "Winter Wonderland," "Frosty the Snowman," "Marshmallow World," and many, many others will be heard. The dancers have been preparing for their showcase since the start of the dance season in September.
For those of you who are not familiar with this event, it is not all about the dancing. Since the Holiday season is known to be about giving Concord Dance Academy has started their own Holiday traditions. The growing traditions currently include, a picture with Santa when you donate a Toy for Tots or a canned good to benefit the Friendly Kitchen. The benefits of the 50/50 raffle during the show are donated to the Friendly Kitchen. In the past over $3000 has been raised for the Friends of the Audi and $3500 for the Friendly Kitchen of Concord. The proceeds from the refreshment table will benefit the recent renovation projects the Audi is undergoing.
The performances take place Saturday, December 5 at 1pm and 6:30pm, and Sunday, December 6 at 1pm. If you wish to have a photo with Santa arrive an hour before with a canned good or an unwrapped toy for Toys for Tots. Tickets are priced at $10 per ticket. A good price for quality dancing. Come on out and share a holiday experience this weekend. See you there!
