42nd Annual Spring Recital
Our 42nd Spring Recital was held on May 9, 2026 at Springfield High School.
This yearly showcase is a chance for students to demonstrate their dedication and personal progress in new choreography from Dance Factory faculty. Dancers aged preschool to adult perform original works of ballet, pointe, modern, jazz, hip hop, and tap to classic and contemporary music.
Our 43rd Annual Recital will be held on May 8, 2027.

The Nutcracker 2025
The Dance Factory’s 35th annual production of The Nutcracker will bee presented Saturday, December 12th at 7pm and Sunday, December 13th at 2pm at Springfield High School in Springfield, VT.
Our full-scale show is Vermont's longest-running Nutcracker. It delights nearly 1000 community members every year, has raised upwards of $25,000 for local arts initiatives, and has provided an invaluable pre-professional performance experience to hundreds of rural dancers.
Participation is open to all Dance Factory ballet students in 2rd grade and above; students work their up to soloist roles that many studios outsource to hired professionals.
Additional Performances
Vermont State Dance Festival: Dancers in 8th grade and up can participate in a Repertory class in which they prepare original choreography to perform at the annual Vermont State Dance Festival, held each November in Lyndon, VT.
Community collaborations: Dance Factory students have the opportunity to perform at additional events throughout the year including Springfield On The Move’s Concerts at the Comtu series, Springfield Community Band’s children’s concert, showcases in district elementary schools, and more.
