2023: Dancers engage in discussions about what it means to be of service for others, and what it means to create and share a message of strength and hope. They deepen their understanding of this healthy mindset by putting a message into movement, and learning to lift themselves, and through that action, are able to lift others.

2022: Dancers come back strong after dark theaters and studio closures to connect and share in the one thing that truly matters - love. Powerful pieces, both emotional and inspiring, take you out of the darkness and into the light. Dancers find power within and connect their mind and heart in love, triumph over loss, and a  bright fire for the future!

2019: Within each dancer lives a super hero. The one that has the power to overcome adversity, challenge and obstacle. Each student finds the power inside them selves to believe in who they are and accept their uniqueness and value, no matter how different they each are. Together, a generation of superheroes walks among us. Come see their stories!

2018: Dancers talk about the biggest threat our world faces - us. They unite in the focus that our world needs our attention, we are all united in this one mission - to save our planet. Not just environment our society too. These movement messages share in how the next generation feels about the climate, both within our communities and the greater world.

2017: We take you on a journey of the untold story of two brothers and their childhood preceding the classic tale of the Lion King. Who was Scar before he WAS scarred. How did it happen? What turned him into the monster we all know? We believe no on is born evil, and we tell the story of how both Scar and Mufassa turned into the lions we know today.

2017: Celebrating the Evolution of our dancers, our studio and the magical power of dance, we share stories of transformation and revelation.

This is the journey of their evolution.

2021: "The Discussion, Chapter 1": During the dark theaters and global shutdown due to the pandemic, Choreographer Kea Tesseyman wrote her second original script to be narrated and mixed with a haunting soundtrack, taking the audience on an exquisite journey of self realization, facing fears and healing. The story follows dancers as they work to battle the gripping power stress from trauma and addiction can have on your brain, body and life, and how one "subject" chose to face it.
Performed by 6 dancers who had "podded" during the fall of 2020 into the winter of 2021 to train together safely, then performed on a live stream created by the resilient Camden Opera House March of 2021 where online audience members could watch from home.

"It was a cathartic experience - was healing for all of us in so many different ways and helped us to stay focused on sharing a message of strength and hope during such dark times..but we had to go there...into the darkness to be able to pull each other out of how we all felt we had been living. How the world felt...that's what drove this project. Finally the world could relate to one singular thing on a massive scale, while mental health and addiction affects everyone worldwide already, it just doesn't get the attention it needs to make a difference." - Kea Tesseyman

2016: Our first Grit & Grace show brings you to the center of our studio mission: Helping dancers to express their true selves through dance. Dance is an accessible art form that helps students to build confidence and self esteem while embracing camaraderie, community acceptance, all in a judgement and competition free space. Just Be You!
