Photos: Elevation Dance Studio celebrates return to stage with ’Homecoming’ recital

 

Dancers in Elevation Dance Studio’s “Homecoming” recital, which is being presented this weekend, have been waiting for this moment for more than a year.

“We have not had a live show since the start of COVID-19,” said Renée Fleischer, owner of Elevation Dance Studio in Steamboat Springs. “They (the performers) are just so happy to get back in front of an audience.”

Fleischer estimates 150 dancers will take part in this weekend’s performances, which will take place in the Korbel Ballroom located inside The Steamboat Grand.



The first show takes the stage at 5:30 p.m. Friday, and there will be a second performance that same night at 8 p.m..

On Saturday, performances will take place at 10:30 a.m., 1 p.m., 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. Fleischer said tickets at $25 each are still available but may go quickly as the audience for each show is capped at 160 people, who will sit in a socially-distanced fashion with those older than 2 required to wear masks.



“I think some people are just a little apprehensive about attending events,” Fleischer said. “So we are also doing four video-on-demand shows.”

Tickets for the on-demand shows will also be $25, and all tickets, both live and on-demand, are available on Elevation Dance Studio’s website.
