HAWKINS SHOWCASE

Students enrolled in dance, musical theater, acrobatics and vocals classes have the opportunity to work with their teachers and choreographers to bring a showpiece to the stage. 

Typically, Hawkins Showcase is held in multiple shows at the Jill Solberg Performing Arts Center at the conclusion of the school season in mid-June.  In 2021, the shows will be performed on the Hawkins Outdoor Performance Stage.  Prior to general public sales, tickets are allocated and available to families.  Individual and group photos, as well as performance videos may be offered as well.

Pre-Professional Opportunity

While all the companies offer advanced-level training and performances, the Hawkins Contemporary Jazz Company (HCJC) also offers a pre-professional track where dancers have unique opportunities to work outside Hawkins with industry professionals and the Sacramento Contemporary Dance Company (SCDT).  The Pre-Professional level has an additional set of audition requirements and is reserved for those who demonstrate technical and artistic competence, as well as an additional commitment.
