Dance Adventures
In addition to our community connections we also provide our dancers optional vacation/adventure experiences. These opportunities are provided by our travel partners for an additional cost.
Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade
In 2021, HSSOD will head to New York City to perform for the 7th time in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade! This tradition is one of our favorites for our high school aged dancers. Every three years, a new group of dancers get to experience New York and all it has to offer. Dancers that participate in this adventure go to a Broadway show, see the Rockettes Broadway spectacular, take a harbor cruise, and have Thanksgiving dinner at Ellen’s Stardust Diner. Dancers complete this amazing experience by performing in front of thousands live and millions on TV on the gold star at Herald Square!!
Dance The World - Disney
Every other summer, we take dancers to perform in the Magic Kingdom at Disney World! Our 2021 trip will be HSSOD’s 6th time giving dancers and their families memories that will last forever. This opportunity is open to all HSSOD dancers.
Dance Mission Trip - Costa Rica
We’ve traveled to Costa Rica six times to dance with children through a camp experience. Through our time there, we’ve helped to support an incredible dance teacher who has established a great dance program. Using our gifts and talents to serve others through dance and community service is an important lesson that we want to share with our dancers.
Hawaii Trip - Pearl Harbor Performance
For our 20th anniversary in 2018, we decided to head to Hawaii for a performance at Pearl Harbor, hula lessons, and sight seeing. We loved it so much that we headed back again in 2021 - here comes HSSOD!
Broadway Weekend
Every couple of years, we invite Springs Dance Company to head to New York City for master classes at the Broadway Dance Center. In addition to this wonderful dance opportunity, dancers also get the chance to see a Broadway show and also go on sightseeing trips!
