Our Winter Benefit Show is rapidly approaching, and we want to inform you that this year’s recitals will be uniquely different due to unforeseen circumstances. While we work diligently to determine the venue and timing for the recital, let’s take a moment to delve into the essence of what the Winter Benefit Show represents.
The Winter Benefit Show is an annual event that takes place during the winter season. Each year, we identify a family within our community facing extraordinary and unexpected challenges. As members of the MDS family, we come together to provide them with the support and love they need during these trying times. We achieve this by selling tickets to our show and directing the proceeds towards the chosen family. Over the years, we have been able to contribute anywhere from $3,000 to $7,000, making a significant difference in their lives.
Additionally, we organize a silent auction to further raise funds for the selected family. These auctions are made possible through the generous donations of our community members and local businesses. If you or someone you know would like to make a contribution, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us.
Our winter recital carries a more relaxed atmosphere compared to our spring recital. Instead of elaborate costumes, we opt for outfits that our dancers can wear to their regular classes after the recital. These outfits include simple attire like leotards and skirts for ballet/creative classes, biketards for tumbling, or comfortable attire like t-shirts and joggers for hip-hop. However, we still offer the option to purchase flowers in advance, which you can collect at the recital to present to your dancer. Online ordering is not available on your parent portal.

And here’s a special note – our winter show takes place in JANUARY! Unlike holiday shows that add to the December rush, we perform after the holiday season, allowing you to enjoy the performance without the holiday chaos.
Please stay tuned for further updates regarding the recital’s venue and timing. Recital information will be posted on your parent portal, emailed in the newsletter and on our Events Page of our website. If you can spare some positive vibes, send them my way as I navigate these challenges with a smile! Thank you for your continued support!
