Make a Splash by Becca Retter
Make a Splash by Becca Retter is a collection of three recital-ready dances for performers ages 3–10, inspired by sunshine, island fun, and days at the beach.
From a sweet preschool song and dance to lyrical jazz with an island feel and an energetic Grade 2 tap routine, Make a Splash gives teachers three colorful ways to bring a summer or ocean-inspired theme to the recital stage.
The collection includes choreography video, music, and choreography notes to give teachers an organized framework for learning, teaching, rehearsing, and staging each routine.

Why Teachers Love This Collection
Make a Splash gives teachers three recital options connected by one easy-to-use summer theme while covering a broad range of ages and dance styles.
The combination of preschool movement, lyrical jazz, and tap provides variety within the collection, while the sunshine, island, and beach themes allow the routines to work together as a cohesive recital section or individually throughout the program.
With video, music, and choreography notes included, teachers have the materials they need to learn the routines efficiently and prepare each dance for performance.
Each choreography is also available separately as a Training Aid download without video.
