Welcome to Perfect Pointe’s 18th Annual Recital!

This year, the team at Perfect Pointe decided to base our recital on a quote from the incomparable Maya Angelou, which speaks deeply to our hearts:

“Everything in the universe has a rhythm, everything dances.”

There is so much division and heartache in the world today, that it is more important than ever to remember and lift up, the things that bring us together. Dance and music are two of those things. The rhythm of the universe truly does bind us all to one another, whether we realize it or not. We hope today’s performance helps you feel a connection to our shared humanity and leaves you with a sense of joy and wonder at the goodness in the world, despite all the ugliness.

Enjoy the Show!
~ Miss Kendra, Mr. Chris, and the whole Perfect Pointe Team
