Fall Tour
The Fall Tour is one of EMC’s most anticipated events. Our students just love performing for the community at our local Fall Festivals.
Dance Company Dancers and Hot Shots spent the summer learning fresh choreography to show off, and our Discovery Gym students will perform a “demo” of skills.
Nutcracker
Every dancer should perform in a Nutcracker at some point in their training. It’s a rite of passage!
The Susquehanna Youth Ballet, a 501c3 non-profit in residence at EMC will be producing this classic holiday favorite, with roles for dancers of all ages (6 and up).
We don’t do a Nutcracker every year, so make sure you take the opportunity to be a part of this Holiday tradition this year!
Holiday Celebration
Holiday music already? Oh yes!
At EMC we are busy getting ready for the Holiday Celebration at the Pullo Center. This is an exciting time for our dancers and parents.
If this is your first time performing with us, don’t be intimidated! We will help you through every step of the way.
In an attempt to make things as organized as possible, we have placed all the info you need in one place. Please take the time to read carefully and mark your calendars.
SYB Winter Ballet
Open Marley Festival
Open Marley Festival is an event unique to EMC, born from a desire to give our company dancers the opportunity to perform modern and contemporary choreography with weighty subject matter.
As artists, sometimes we want an audience to feel emotions other than “happy” or “sad”. This event allows guest choreographers, as well as student choreographers to present their work to an audience and open it up for discussion.
A day of classes with guest teachers, open dress rehearsal with feedback from the guests, NDEO induction and a banquet-style performance all come together to create one of EMC’s most popular annual events.
Spring Fling
Music Recital
Spring Concert
Spring is in the air! That means the EMC Spring Concert is just around the corner. Our students and staff are busy getting ready for the big day.
Dances are taking shape, costumes are arriving, and the magic of performance time is in the air! Amidst the anticipation and excitement, production can be a very hectic experience, especially for parents.
If this is your first time performing with us, don’t be intimidated. We will help you through every step of the way.
In an attempt to make things as organized as possible, we have put all the info here in the Members Only Site. Please take the time to read it carefully and mark your calendars.

Hayden grew up around music, becoming a very versatile performer. His study began at age 6, taking drum lessons with his father James McGarvey. Currently a freshman at the prestigious Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia, Hayden studies classical percussion with Don Liuzzi of the Philadelphia Orchestra, Robert van Sice, and Eric Millstein. With these teachers, he studies timpani, snare drum, marimba, xylophone, hand drums and multi-percussion. Other disciplines he is learning at Curtis include piano, music theory, music history, ear training, singing and chamber music. While attending Susquehannock High School, Hayden became a very successful percussionist for PMEA honors groups. On top of numerous district and regional festivals, he performed two years in the PMEA state orchestra, as well as one year in the National All-Eastern Wind Ensemble. During High School he performed with the jazz band, pep band, marching band, orchestra, and wind ensemble. Hayden also attended the renowned Interlochen Summer Arts Camp in 2019 where he played as principal percussionist in the World Youth Symphony Orchestra. In addition to classical percussion, Hayden is well versed in drum set playing, previously studying with his father and Tench Tillman. He currently studies drum set with John Riley of the Manhattan School of Music, and has played in various settings such as jazz combos, jazz big bands, rock bands, duos and recording sessions. Hayden can be heard on Brendan Wiencek’s debut album Endless Bonds, as well as his latest single, Second Base. Hayden is very excited to pass on his knowledge and passion for music to his students at EMC.
