Nena Smith’s School of Dance will present its 43rd annual spring recital Saturday and Monday at 6 p.m. The program will be held in Rea Auditorium on the campus of Copiah-Lincoln Community College, with a donation to Relay for Life taken as admission fee. Over $6,000 was raised at last year’s event.

The theme of the recital is “Calendar Girls” — holidays, weekends, seasons and special moments. Dancers age 4 to adult will perform routines in jazz, tap, hip-hop, lyrical, ballet, musical theatre, clogging and many novelty routines, vocal arrangements and a few surprises.

Groups performing will be the Sophomore Class of 2018, the Seventh-Eighth Grade Tri-County Dancers and the Fifth-Sixth Grade Tri-County Dancers. The Third and Fourth-grade Tri-County Dancers will perform Tuesday only, at 4 p.m.
