Spring Festival of Dance 2026
June 11–13 | Main Street Theatre, home of The Theatre of the Republic
Join Coastal Dance Centre and Coastal Youth Ballet Theatre for the annual Spring Festival of Dance, a joyful weekend celebrating the artistry, dedication, and growth of our dancers — from our youngest performers taking their first steps on stage to our advanced Conservatory, Elite Conservatory, and award-winning Competition Team dancers.
Recognized nationally for excellence in ballet training and dance education, and fresh off representing South Carolina as the only ballet studio from the state to compete at the 2026 Youth America Grand Prix Finals, Coastal Dance Centre returns to the Main Street Theatre stage for three days of inspiring performances featuring ballet, contemporary, jazz, tap, acro, lyrical, and more.
Known by many through our beloved annual production of The Nutcracker, CDC and CYBT are proud to share the year-round training, artistry, discipline, and heart that define our dancers.
This special festival includes Conservatory gala performances, Children’s Matinees, Competition Team and Elite Conservatory showcases, RAD examination recognition, and a continued celebration of Coastal Dance Centre’s collaboration with Coastal Youth Ballet Theatre.
Whether you are a longtime CDC family, a Nutcracker audience member, or discovering Coastal Dance Centre for the first time, we warmly invite you to experience a weekend filled with talent, creativity, discipline, and heart.
