There was not an empty seat in the George Houston Gymnasium on Saturday night except for when performances finished and fans rose to their feet in applause to celebrate the Juneau-Douglas High School: Yadaa.at Kalé Dance Team in Showtime 2025.

“Performing with the team for the last time is something I will never forget,” JDHS senior dance officer Serena Crupi said. She has performed in six showtimes, four of them on the JDHS dance team, and like most of the team members as a youth participant in another capacity. “I remember being a little kid, sitting in the audience at Showtime, completely in awe. I remember thinking, ‘That is what I want to do someday.’ And now here I am, standing where they once stood, living the dream I country wise email marketing list used to only imagine.”

The JDHS Showtime has come a long way since 1988 when the first gathering was performed. Saturday marked the 36th annual event, minus the COVID 2020-21 seasons.

“Showtime is an encore performance of all season routines and more combined in one breathtaking event,” JDHS head coach Kayla Price said. She is assisted by coaches Christa Baxter and Krista Delcastillo. “This team has worked incredibly hard this season, and we are so proud of their accomplishments. Showtime is a celebration of the season, where we get to showcase everything we’ve worked on all season and celebrate our graduating seniors. It was a magical night.”
