Frosty Follies

Celebrate the magic of the season with Frosty’s Follies, a high-energy, 30-minute holiday showcase featuring Frosty the Snowman, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, and other beloved holiday characters! This dazzling performance blends jazz, tap, and ballet, bringing festive fun for all ages.

For nearly three decades, this FREE community event has spread holiday cheer while supporting the U.S. Marine Corps Toys for Tots—helping to generate toy donations and raise awareness for children in need.

Winter Showcase

Watch as they showcase their progress in a fun tap dance and a charming mini Nutcracker ballet. You’ll see the growth and progression of our foundation-level dancers, each taking their next step on their dance journey.
And don’t miss the surprise visit from Santa—a magical touch to this heartwarming holiday tradition!
Come celebrate the season with us and enjoy an afternoon filled with dance, joy, and a little holiday magic!

McLean Day Showcase

Come enjoy a day of fair fun and dance at McLean Day! Each performing class at AiM will have the chance to showcase their recital dance to the public, offering valuable performance practice and the thrill of performing in front of a live audience.

After the show, dancers can let loose and enjoy all the festival has to offer—rides, popcorn, and more! It’s a fun, free event for everyone, making it the perfect way to spend the day enjoying both the excitement of the fair and the joy of dance. Don’t miss out on this community celebration!

Spring Recital at the Alden Theatre

Join us at the McLean Community Center’s Alden Theatre for the highly anticipated Spring Recital! This showcase celebrates the technical and creative artistry of dancers at all levels, from their very first steps to our senior company. Enjoy an exciting array of performances, including ballet, jazz, tap, hip hop, and more. The evening will kick off with a special opening number that brings together every AiM dancer in a stunning display of unity and talent. It’s the culmination of a year filled with hard work, growth, and passion—an event you won’t want to miss!

Cheer and tumbling opportunities

Our Cheer and Tumbling program is truly one of a kind! Every year, we offer exciting live performance opportunities that let our cheerleaders showcase their skills in real-world settings. From cheering at a local sports game to walking in a parade or performing at a senior center, our dancers experience the thrill of being a real-life AiM cheerleader. These performances are not only fun but also offer a chance to connect with the community and show off the hard work and spirit that make our program so special!

Parent watch days

Parent Watch Days are a special opportunity for our littlest dancers to practice performing in a comfortable and familiar environment while still having the chance to show off their progress. Each session, dancer families are welcomed into the last class to see how their child has grown. From warm welcomes to imaginative exercises, choreography, across-the-floor work, and creative dance focused on promoting free movement and creativity, it’s a fun and relaxed way for families to celebrate the beginnings of their child’s dance journey!
