Community Performances

• SOUTH GRAND PRAIRIE HIGH SCHOOL BALLET FOLKLORICO – For the past two decades SGP folkloric dancers have performed, travel and compete dances in costumes that reflect the traditional culture of Mexico that transmits so much energy and happiness to each and every dancer that has a passion for Mexican dancing. Mexican Folk dance or baile folklórico allows students from all backgrounds to experience and understand dance as a component of the Mexican heritage, giving Mexican-American students particularly a special opportunity to identify with and learn about their culture.

• TAP DAZZLERS – Founded and directed in 1990 by Fran Dempsey, age 77, a former Kilgore Rangerette officer, these tappers have performed at more than 2,000 events throughout the state, featured in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and have appeared in this children’s parade for 25 years.

• STUDIO ONE DANCE CENTER’S ELITE COMPETITION TEAM – Studio One’s team has been featured dancing at Walt Disney World for their Performing Arts productions and the televised Disney Parks Christmas Day Parade.
