CELEBRATING OUR 40TH ANNIVERSARY
13th Annual Summer Finale | June 21-22, 2025
Nechita Center for the Arts | Orange Lutheran High School
Information for Parents
The OCPAA Summer Finale is the ultimate showcase for our recreational program dancers and lets them demonstrate to friends and family how much they have learned and grown throughout the year. Performing in the Finale is an award for all of their hard work. Participation in the Finale is not mandatory. However, once you commit to performing by purchasing a costume you are required to participate in PICTURE DAY, DRESS REHEARSAL and ALL PERFORMANCES YOUR CLASS IS SCHEDULED IN. Please keep in mind that over the next several weeks most dance classes will be spent learning and rehearsing routines for the Finale. Make sure your email is up to date on the portal and you access your account often so you can be sure to receive the many and important communications about the Finale.
