Holiday Show 2026
We’re so excited to announce that FMDC’s Holiday Show is back for Season 9! 🎄✨
This is one of our favorite opportunities of the season, and we can’t wait to fill the stage with festive music, dancing, and holiday magic! The Holiday Show is designed to give dancers the opportunity to learn a special performance piece, experience performing on stage, try a new style of dance, and celebrate the season with their FMDC friends.
And the best part? Your dancer gets to choose whether they participate!
✨ HOW IS THE HOLIDAY SHOW DIFFERENT?
The Holiday Show is a little different from our Year End Show in June. Holiday Show dances will not be taught during your dancer’s regular weekly class. Instead, dancers will attend special weekend rehearsals where they will learn their Holiday Show choreography.
This gives dancers the chance to step outside of their regular class routine, work toward a specific performance goal, and experience learning choreography in a rehearsal setting.
The Holiday Show is optional, so dancers must OPT-IN to participate. The deadline is October 30th to register.
The Holiday Show is open to dancers ages 4yrs+.
🎁 REHEARSAL REQUIREMENTS
Dancers must be available for at least 3 of the 4 rehearsals, and dress rehearsal is required.

⭐ CHOOSE YOUR DANCE STYLE!
One of the most exciting parts of the Holiday Show is that dancers get to choose the style(s) they would like to perform!
Dancers are welcome to participate in more than one style, which means they can perform in multiple dances if they meet the rehearsal requirements.
This is a great opportunity for your dancer to:
- Try a style they’ve never taken before
- Perform in a style they already love
- Challenge themselves in a new way
- Dance alongside friends
- Build confidence on stage
- Be part of a fun FMDC holiday tradition! 🎄

❤️ READY TO JOIN US?
If your dancer loves performing, wants to try something new, or simply wants a little extra holiday magic in their dance season, we would love to have them join us!
The Holiday Show is a wonderful way for dancers to experience the excitement of performing without the larger commitment of our June Year End Show. They’ll learn choreography, rehearse with their fellow dancers, build confidence, and finish it all off with a magical holiday performance on stage!
Participation is optional, so if your dancer would like to be part of the Holiday Show, be sure to OPT-IN!
We can’t wait to celebrate the holiday season with our FMDC dancers and families! 🎄❤️
Let’s make this Holiday Show one to remember!
