The Polar Express presented by NorthWest Dance Academy

Do you hear that? The soft ring of a distant bell… the hiss of steam… the conductor calling, “All aboard!”
It’s time for our 4th Annual Polar Express Dance Recital — a magical Tillamook holiday tradition!
Nearly 100 talented dancers from across our community will take the stage to tell the beloved story of The Polar Express through ballet, jazz, hip hop, tap, contemporary, musical theatre, and acro. From dancing cocoa servers to lively train scenes and twirling North Pole snowflakes, the spirit of the season comes alive in every step.
Follow the journey of a young girl who has started to lose her belief in Christmas magic. But everything changes when a mysterious train pulls up in her front yard on Christmas Eve night. With a golden ticket in hand, she boards the Polar Express and begins an adventure filled with friendship, courage, and heart.
From the Hot Chocolate car to the quiet moments under the northern lights, and finally to the grand arrival at the North Pole, her journey reminds us that “the bell still rings for all who truly believe.” 

This show has become a cherished tradition our studio looks forward to each year — and this year’s performance is full of new surprises, fresh choreography, and magical storytelling.
The Polar Express is departing soon… are you coming?
