Spring Showcase
Each year, NRDF promotes and supports the Napa Regional Dance Company’s Spring Showcase. The performance marks the culmination of a year’s work for NRDC students (pre-ballet through advanced) and highlights choreography from both the company’s gifted instructional staff as well as the talented students enrolled in the school’s Young Choreographers Workshop. Participation in the show provides dancers with the opportunity to showcase their hard-earned technical accomplishments, build individual confidence through performance, and explore diverse styles of artistic expression and creativity.

NRDC Summer Intensive Master Teachers
Where do dancers go in the summer? In search of new experiences to stretch their dance muscles and their creativity! Access to such new experiences and to instructors with varying styles and programs are essential to the development of the advanced dancer. NRDF sponsors master teachers from all over the country to come teach their techniques at the NRDC Summer Intensive.
For more information on summer enrollment, please contact Napa Regional Dance Company.
Nutcracker Symphony Project
In addition to pitching in with performance logistics, NRDF annually rallies the community to enhance the Napa Regional Dance Company Nutcracker ballet performance with live orchestral music.The project serves to elevate the musical experience of The Nutcracker for the audience, extend support for the arts into the Napa community, and provide NRDC dancers with the unique opportunity to perform with live accompaniment.
