During the first weekend of December, the Forever Dance Alaska competitive team presents their “Forever Christmas” show for all ages. Grab your tickets in advance or at the door and see what the Aurora Dance Company has in store for the holiday season. There’s an homage to the beloved “The Nutcracker” as well as a variety of dance styles. Ballet, jazz, hip hop, tap and more will be featured. Tickets can be reserved by calling (907) 262-1641 or stopping by the studio at 197 Shady Lane.

It’s the same weekend as the Christmas in the Park festival, where pictures with Santa can be snapped, plenty of hot chocolate will be slurped and family-friendly holiday movies will be featured. The park festival is free and kicks off on Saturday evening. Double down your holiday glee with both events and really kick off the season in style.

Just Dance

“Forever Christmas” is showcased at the local Renee C. Henderson Auditorium in Kenai. The dance company, formerly Vergine’s Dance Studio, is a mecca for all styles of dance including musical theater, pointe and cultural dancing. All ages are welcome at the studio, from toddler through adult (and beginner to advanced).

The energetic, encouraging studio is a fantastic option for those staying in Soldotna for an extended period. Once you see the incredible performance, you’ll be inspired to try out your own moves. Contact Forever Dance Alaska to see about winter camps, drop-in classes and more dance options.
