Spotlight Dance Academy will present a free performance from 5-7 p.m. Aug. 1 at the amphitheater at Lake Milton State Park beach in Craig Beach.

The academy had its fifth annual dance recital June 20 with the theme “Time Warp.” The show included music and dances from the ’60s through today. Students of the Mahoning Avenue academy performed routines in ballet, jazz, tap, hip-hop, bellydance, lyrical and Polynesian.

The school’s competitive-dance team performed several routines, including a seven-minute production of “ Polynesian Paradise,” which has won Platinum awards and Most Entertaining Act at several competitions.

The junior group Disco Divas also received Platinum awards at several competitions and won the Critics Choice Award at the OnStage New York competition, topping 300 other routines.

The teaching staff also received honors this season.
