The non-profit Seacoast Civic Dance Company (SCDC) in partnership with the New Hampshire Academy of Performing Arts (NHAPA) are celebrating NHAPA’s 66 year in dance education. The performers perform award-winning, originally choreographed pieces in a variety of dance genres including Ballet, Tap, Jazz, Hip Hop, Modern and Contemporary.

The Seacoast Civic Dance Company and Performance Groups are auditioned dancers from the NH Academy of Performing Arts (NHAPA) ranging in age from 11-18 years old. The program is focused on providing a pre-professional dance education program supported by an experienced faculty, coupled with multiple, professional performance opportunities.

This nationally recognized, award-winning troupe is known for their cutting-edge choreography, and dynamic performances. They have toured and performed locally at Portsmouth’s Market Square Day, Children’s Day, and Prescott Park Arts Festival. Most recently, the SCDC traveled to Los Angeles to participate in an international dance convention and perform at Universal Studios. Back in 2019, the SCDC performed at Sugar Bowl Half-time Show in New Orleans.  The troupe is thrilled to be back in
performing regularly and is always excited to be part of the Prescott Park Arts Festival.
