A NOTE FROM THE PRINCIPALS
Dear Friends and Families,
It is our privilege to welcome you to the 2024-2025 performance season at California School of the Arts –San Gabriel Valley (CSArts-SGV)! We are delighted to have you join us for our eighth season of showstopping performances, concerts, events, and more, all showcasing the tireless work and dedication of our exceptionally talented students and faculty.
The inspiring devotion and passion of our CSArts-SGV community has not gone unnoticed. Our school is currently ranked the #1 Best Charter High School in California, the #3 Best Public High School in Los Angeles County, and the #4 Best High School for the Arts in America by Niche. CSArts-SGV also holds the title of Best Charter School in the San Gabriel Valley by Pasadena Star-News, San Gabriel Valley Tribune, and Whittier Daily News
We could not be more proud of the many successes of our students, teachers, and staff, and we are thrilled to see what else we can all accomplish together as a CSArts-SGV family this school year. It is our first year together as joint principals, and there are so many other firsts on this season’s horizon that we are excited to be a part of, including welcoming our very first group of sixth grade students to CSArts-SGV!
Sincerely,
Stephen Cook, D.M.A. Principal of Arts
Nicole Read Principal of Academics
Of course, all of these incredible accomplishments could not be achieved without the support of our community. We would like to express our gratitude to our 2024-2025 Season Sponsors, Edison International and Max H. Gluck Foundation, as well as to our Board of Trustees, Foundation Board of Directors, President’s Circle, Encore, and Family Action Network members. Their continued support, leadership, and vision help to shape the lives of our students each and every day. Additionally, we would like to express our appreciation to the Duarte Unified School District (DUSD), the DUSD Board of Education, and the City of Duarte Council Members, whose continued partnership is vital to the mission of CSArts-SGV.
Finally, we must honor our parents, alumni, administrators, faculty and staff, members of the local community, and most importantly, our student artists. Our students are the inspiration and driving force behind everything that we do.
We are thrilled to have you join us in celebrating another impressive performance season at CSArts-SGV. Sit back and enjoy as our students Shine Brightly!
WE PROVIDE AN UNPARALLELED ARTS AND ACADEMIC EDUCATION IN A CREATIVE, CHALLENGING, AND NURTURING ENVIRONMENT TO A DIVERSE GROUP OF STUDENTS WHO ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT THE ARTS, PREPARING THEM TO REACH THEIR HIGHEST POTENTIAL.

BALLET & CONTEMPORARY DANCE AND COMMERCIAL DANCE CONSERVATORIES PRESENT:
SCHOOL OF DANCE SPRING CONCERT MARCH 28-29, 2025
DUARTE PERFORMING ARTS CENTER
A NOTE FROM THE DIRECTOR OF DANCE
Welcome to California School of the Arts – San Gabriel Valley’s Spring Dance Concert! This concert marks our eighth season as a school and the only performance that includes the full School of Dance. The dancers you see tonight span from the 6th grade to the 12th grade. This is the first year that CSArts-SGV has offered enrollment at the 6th grade level and we are so proud of what these young students have been able to accomplish already this year!
The School of Dance is made up of both the Ballet & Contemporary Dance and Commercial Dance conservatories and Mixed Metals is our glimpse into those two worlds. This show showcases what makes each of these programs unique, what ties them together, and highlights how they complement each other beautifully. Not only are the conservatories programs multi-faceted, but so are each of these students. I hope Mixed Metals reminds them to fully embrace all aspects of themselves as both humans and artists. I am so proud of all the School of Dance students and feel so much gratitude that I get to share their hard work with you tonight!
This concert would not be possible without the endless dedicated individuals that support our dancers. First and foremost, I would like to thank the Production & Design staff and student crew for their endless support of all productions campus-wide; we simply couldn’t do what we do without them! Thank you to our front of house staff, our student usher volunteers, and our many parent volunteers that helped with Supper Club, arranging the beautiful flower bouquets, and supporting with costume embellishment! It truly takes a village.
A heartfelt thank you to the School of Dance faculty. Your dedication to our students and their growth is beyond measure and that is truly reflected in the work that we see on stage tonight! To Simon Harrison and Jia Huang - an extra special thank you for the time, care, and energy you have poured into these dancers, this program and this concert. You have been so integral in the success of this program and I’m so grateful to work by your sides!
Thank you all for joining us tonight and supporting our student artists. I hope you enjoy the show!
Warmly,
