• ONE WEEK LATER •
• STILL NOT OVER IT•

The classes. The energy. The moments our dancers realized just how much they’re capable of. KAR Convention, you gave us plenty to replay.

Another look at a weekend full of courage, breakthroughs, and STRUT dancers going ALL IN.

🏆 Strut Performing Arts has been voted BEST DANCE STUDIO in the entire 209!

We’ve been holding onto some incredibly exciting news, and it’s time to give it the spotlight it deserves! ✨ While this honor was announced a little while back, we hadn’t had the chance to share it because the start of a new season and hosting back to back events has kept us so busy. Our announcement may be a little late, but our pride and gratitude have been there from the very beginning!

This recognition is especially meaningful because it came from YOU… the people in our communities who cast the votes. From Lodi, Stockton, Tracy, Manteca, Ripon, Escalon, Riverbank, Modesto, Ceres, Turlock, Merced, and Los Banos to so many other communities throughout Stanislaus, San Joaquin, Calaveras, Tuolumne, Amador, and Mariposa Counties, your support made this possible. To be recognized across such a large region is truly humbling.

This award is a reflection of the passion, dedication, and heart that our dancers, families, instructors, staff, and volunteers bring to SPA every single day. Heather and I are incredibly grateful for each of you ~ for believing in our vision, trusting us with your dancers, and making Strut your dance home.

Thank you to everyone who voted and to every person who has helped make STRUT what it is today. This honor belongs to our entire Strut family, and we couldn’t be prouder to celebrate it with all of you! ❤️💚💜

What are the true gifts of Christmas?

Inspired by the beloved tradition of The Twelve Days of Christmas, Strut Performing Arts invites you to experience an original holiday spectacular celebrating the magic, meaning, and wonder of the Christmas
season.

Unwrap our very own Twelve Gifts of Christmas: Old Saint Nick, Two Givers Giving, Three Green Trees
Glistening, Four Faithful Servants, Five Snowflakes Falling, Six Soldiers Marching, Seven Joyful Dancers, Eight
Families Gathering, Nine Toys A-Banging, Ten Angels Watching, Eleven Singers Singing, and Twelve Gifts of
Christmas!

With an incredible cast of student dancers, instructors and guests from throughout the Central Valley, the
stage comes alive in a dazzling celebration of ballet, tap, jazz, hip-hop, comedy, theatrical characters, heartfelt
storytelling, and spectacular large-scale production numbers.
But beyond the lights, music, costumes, and Christmas cheer lies the heart of our story: the greatest gifts of
the season cannot be purchased in a store or wrapped beneath a tree. They are found in faith, family, giving,
tradition, laughter, togetherness, and the memories we create with those we love.
From the wonder in a child’s eyes to the nostalgia of Christmases past, The Twelve Gifts of Christmas was
created to make you feel the season: to laugh, to smile, to remember, and to believe in the magic of Christmas
all over again.

Gather your family and friends, take your seat, and let us unwrap the magic of Christmas together.

THIS IS STRUT. STEPPING INTO WHAT’S NEXT. 🔥

For years, we’ve felt a pull in our hearts to take our competitive program in a new direction… to explore new opportunities, embrace new challenges, and give our dancers room to discover just how far they can go. This year, God answered our prayers and gave us the clarity and courage to take that leap.

This weekend at KAR Convention in Santa Clara, that vision came to life. And our dancers? They exceeded every expectation.

For many, this was entirely new territory. For others, it had been years. Walking into an unfamiliar environment and putting your whole heart into the experience takes courage. Our dancers brought that courage into every class, alongside determination, heart, and an unmistakable pride in representing STRUT.

Every dancer stood out. Every dancer excelled. Every dancer had moments worth celebrating.

We watched them challenge themselves, rise to the occasion, and give the very best of themselves all day long. There were personal victories, breakthroughs, and moments that reminded us exactly why we believed in this direction.

We left with full hearts and absolute confidence in the decision we made for our students. Seeing them thrive in this new environment meant more than we can put into words.

To our dancers: you made this first step extraordinary. You represented STRUT proudly, boldly, and wholeheartedly.

A new season. A courageous step. An incredible beginning.

STRUT, WE ARE JUST GETTING STARTED❤️‍🔥
