Posted

The Cardio Club & Delhi Dance Studio will hold its 22nd annual recital, titled “I Got the Feelin’,” on Saturday, June 14, at 6 p.m. at the Delaware Academy High School Auditorium.

The performance marks the culmination of months of preparation by students ranging in age from 3 to adult. The evening will include a range of dance styles—from ballet and jazz to modern and hip-hop—and will feature two graduating seniors, Abigail Tessier and Natalie Anderson, both of whom began dancing with the studio at the age of three.

This year’s recital includes a tribute choreographed by studio owner Raegan Reed in memory of her sister-in-law, Jessi Reed Raber. The piece will be performed by Raber’s youngest daughter, Althea, alongside Reed’s own daughter, Lily.

“It’s an emotional piece,” said Reed. “We wanted to honor Jessi’s memory in a way that feels personal and deeply meaningful.”

Reed praised the commitment of the dancers and the support of the community. Everyone has worked so hard for this moment, she said. “It’s a joy to watch our dancers share their progress and passion with family and friends.”

Tickets are $15 for ages 11 and older, $10 for children ages 5 to 10, and free for those under 4. They may be purchased in advance at The Cardio Club at 17 Elm Street in Delhi during regular business hours, or at the door on the evening of the performance.
