Show Logistics
We do our best to keep our performances under two hours, so that means having four different performances. Some of our students dance in all four, but most students are assigned to a single show. This means four different groups of potential customers will see your business, should you choose to partner with Thrive on a sponsorship. Here a the details of our recital weekend:
Saturday, May 31st at 2:00 pm
Saturday, May 31st at 6:00 pm
Sunday, June 1st at 2:00 pm
Sunday, June 1st at 6:00 pm
All performances will be held at the Ogle Center at IU Southeast.
Who We Are
Choosing to partner with another local business means showing your support for who they are and what they stand for. We want to make sure you know who we are and what we stand for before partnering with us.
Thrive School of Dance is a dance studio that provides quality dance training and education for students of all ages in a safe, uplifting, empowering community. We put our dancers and families first and honor our JoAnn Fryrear School of Dance roots by making all business decisions with these core values front and center:
Quality Training and Education. Our students receive individualized, professional dance education and training from our talented, experienced staff. We offer many different paths for students to help them reach their goals. Want to get into a great collegiate dance program? Let's make it happen! Want to dance just for fun? We've got just the classes for you.
Community First. At the heart of every decision we make is our community - our students and our dance families come first. From the staff we hire to the songs we use in class, we've got you in mind.
Safety Minded. We place a great emphasis on correct alignment and age-specific technical progression and strength and mobility building to keep students physically safe and create a welcoming, non-competitive, encouraging atmosphere to keep students emotionally safe. Rest assured that when you drop your child off at class they're entering a space that was built for them.
Do The Right Thing: Integrity is the foundation for everything we do. Families trust and respect us for our commitment to honesty, trust, and transparency. We do the right thing — even when no one is watching.
Humbly Confident. We strive to build not only technical and creative excellence in our students, but also instill a sense of humble confidence that will carry on outside of the classroom. We promote body positivity in our students and believe that dance is for everybody and everybody. One of our favorite things to remind our dancers is that they can do hard things.
Give Joy: We laugh. We express gratitude, learn, and have fun while doing it. We love making people feel good about being a part of our family.
We help each other thrive. We show up as real, vulnerable, transparent human beings who speak from the heart, value others’ contributions, and invest in each other’s growth.
