En Pointe School of Dance will host its annual Christmas Recital on Sunday, Dec. 14 at 4 p.m. at Duane Smith Auditorium, celebrating the dedication and achievements of more than 120 talented students.

Led by owner and director Neslihan Ceren, En Pointe continues to flourish, offering a wide variety of programs including Dance Exploration, Pre-Ballet, Hip Hop, Belly Dance, Adult Contemporary, Bollywood Fusion (Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced), Ballet Levels 1–3 with Pointe, Jazz, and training for the competition team.

The Christmas Recital has become a beloved community tradition, bringing families, friends, and dance lovers together for an afternoon of artistry and holiday cheer. This year, En Pointe School of Dance extends heartfelt gratitude to the YMCA, all parents, and the school’s dedicated teaching staff — Veronica Soran, Megan Hemphill, Kelly Dolejsi, and Samantha Riedel — as well as owner and director Neslihan Ceren for her continued leadership and passion. Special thanks also go to Venusto Salon and Diana Rascon for their ongoing support.

“We are thankful for our wonderful families in Los Alamos and White Rock, our students, and our entire community,” said Director Neslihan. “Their support makes events like this possible, and we are thrilled to celebrate the season together.”

With an exciting blend of classical and contemporary performances, this year’s recital promises an inspiring and unforgettable evening for audiences of all ages.
