More Than a Recital

Weehawken students have opportunities to participate in two fully staged productions each year at the Montrose Pavilion. Our productions bring together dancers and aerialists from across the region to create a shared theatrical experience.

Performances help students develop confidence, responsibility, teamwork, resilience, stage presence, and artistry. Every enrolled class has a place in the production, while experienced students may also audition for featured roles.
