Dance Advantage - Sweet and Sassy

Sweet and Sassy by Becca Retter

Sweet and Sassy by Becca Retter is a collection of three recital-ready dances for young performers, combining tap, preschool song-and-dance, and jazz with themes that let dancers show plenty of personality onstage.

From the Hollywood charm of Little Miss Hollywood to the playful personality of Sweet and Sassy and the confident performance style of Glam Girls, this collection gives teachers three distinct recital options for different ages and levels. Each piece is designed to be age-appropriate, engaging for dancers, and entertaining for an audience.
