The Dream Was Just the Beginning: 10th Anniversary Dance Recital

TTPAD marks ten years with a dance recital that reflects on a decade of imaginative themes. It began in 2017 with a dream-come-true production, then journeyed through the decades, stepped under the big top, paid homage to Broadway, revisited favorites with a remix, turned up a DJ-inspired celebration, honored a seventh-year milestone, spotlighted icons, and set off on a globe-trotting tour. This milestone gathering at the Paramount Theatre unfolds across two days with three separate recitals, celebrating cherished moments and key milestones from every season and shaping an experience that raises the scale, deepens the meaning, and heightens the sense of magic.
