Curio Fall Fest

Celebrate the season with Curio at our annual Curio Fall Fest, a free, family-friendly community event filled with fall fun, live entertainment, and festive activities for all ages.
Enjoy a special 15-minute performance by our Performing Division dancers featuring a fun Halloween-inspired mashup of Michael Jackson, Hocus Pocus, and Monster Mash that’s festive, family-friendly, and not scary. The afternoon also includes crafts, games, light refreshments, and an opportunity to explore our beautiful studio, connect with the Curio community, and celebrate the start of a new dance season.
Whether you’re a current Curio family or visiting for the first time, everyone is welcome. Admission is free, and costumes are encouraged.
Winter Showcase - Dar Gracias
December 19 and 20, 2026 | Hudson High School Theatre
Dar Gracias is our annual Winter Showcase for all Curio Dance students. Dar Gracias means “to give thanks”. Inspired by nature, the music and movements of Dar Gracias are expressions of gratitude for each other and this wonderful world. This production was envisioned, created and choreographed in its entirety by the Artistic Directors of Curio Dance.
A special acknowledgement to our dancers who help bring this beautiful production to life. Their effort, dedication and willingness to shine is what makes this performance heartwarming.
