NORWICH — Dancers from the Perkins School of the Arts will be performing their "Dream Big Dreams" recital at 7 p.m. on Friday, June 7, and at 1 p.m. and 7 p.m. on Saturday, June 8 at the Norwich High School Auditorium, located at 89 Midland Drive in Norwich.

"It’s just a really uplifting show, a fun show, just a show to give a lot of hope for the kids," said Studio Director Mikey Perkins. "We really wanted to have some sort of message to them that gives them a very forward-looking, hopeful future."

Tickets for the recital are $15 per person, and will be available at the door.

Perkins said each performance will be different and will include dancers of all ages, including kids as young as two years old up to adults, as well as a variety of dance styles, from hip hop to tap, jazz, gymnastics, musical theater, and more.

This will also be the first year dancers from the Yes You Can Dance program will be on stage performing in the recital. Yes You Can Dance is an inclusive program for school-age dancers with special needs.
