Annual Recital

Get ready to immerse yourself into the Empower Experience! Since our first recital in 2015, Empower has delivered bold, heart-centered performances that celebrate movement, growth, and community. Each year, our recital theme reflects where we are—and where we're going.

This year’s theme, “Empower in Motion,” honors the evolution of our dancers and our studio. It’s a tribute to how far we’ve come and a powerful reminder that movement is a constant force—within us and around us.

Our Annual Recital will take place on Sunday, June 8, 2025 at 4:15 PM at The Carolina Theatre of Durham. This event is also a key fundraiser, supporting scholarships for dancers who may not otherwise have access to the joy and power of dance.
