Be dazzled with the holiday spirit through live entertainment with iRule Dance Studio’s “Christmas in New York” returns with its annual recital for three performances Dec. 9-10 at the West Brook Center for Performing Arts (8750 Phelan Blvd.).

“All of our students have been working tremendously hard under the artistic direction of choreographer Kelli Barclay,” said iRule Dance Studio owner Charlee Hanna-Rule.

Showtimes are 7 p.m. on Dec. 9-10, and one matinee at 2 p.m. on Dec. 10. Tickets are $6 for children, $18 for adults and can be purchased online at 28811.danceticketing.com or at the door, day of the event.

iRule Dance Studio, located at 4305 Calder Ave, in Beaumont, is a locally owned performing arts haven which provides a creative environment for hundreds of Southeast Texas dancers regardless of age, skill, or income status. One-third of iRule Dance Studio is comprised of scholarship students who benefit from dance classes, performance gear, and team travel expenses that they would otherwise not afford thanks in large part by the contributions of the iRule Dance Foundation, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. iRule also offers free performances to local schools through the help of the iRule Dance Foundation, who helps host the performances which otherwise not be possible to see for many local youths.
