June 12 & 13
Momentum Dance Company presents
The Gratitude Gala
After 18 months away from the theater, Momentum Dance Company returns for its end of year spectacular showcase! MDC has been providing high quality dance education in Santa Barbara for seven years and is pleased to present the hard work and dedication of its students and educators. The Gratitude Gala combines the rapidly growing recreational program with the award winning competitive company under one roof for two days of inspired dance at Center Stage Theater.
Surviving the pandemic and transitioning dance classes onto zoom and outdoor tennis courts, our dancers faced so many transitions in the last year and a half. However, MDC could not be prouder to present this show to our community. Our teachers and students stayed committed to their dance goals this year and hard work has paid off! Come enjoy the talent and inspiration of our dancers ages 3 - 18, with energetic, Tap, Hip Hop, Jazz, Ballet and Contemporary dances. Witness choreography from the entire Momentum Staff including the director and MDC's award winning choreographers. We can't wait to share our love for dance with the Santa Barbara community this June!
