BARCLAY SHELTON DANCE CENTRE
Effective March 12th, 2022, mask wearing will be optional in our studio. We encourage all of our families to weigh the risks and benefits of whether or not to wear a mask in our studio setting, where we are in an enclosed space and are frequently breathing heavily as we dance. Whatever you decide, we support the choices your family needs to make in order to keep yourselves healthy and safe!
Dance Theatrics, Barclay Shelton's resident performing company, was formed in 1981 by director Leanne Shelton to give dedicated students of dance the opportunity to perform.
Our Senior Company is made up of experienced dancers in 9th through 12th grade. They are required to be enrolled in Advanced Ballet and Jazz, and most are skilled in tap, modern, hip hop, and lyrical as well.
Our Junior Company is comprised of 5th through 8th graders who are currently enrolled in ballet and jazz with at least two years experience in both genres.
Both groups rehearse a minimum of two hours a week in addition to their technique classes. DanceTheatrics performs in their own showcase every spring as well as in Barclay Shelton's annual recital, the Edmonds Arts Festival, and other local venues.
