PORT TOWNSEND — Marking the 49th annual “big show” by the O’Meara Dance Studio, “Remember Us” will be performed tonight and Saturday in the Port Townsend High School auditorium, 1500 Van Ness St.

Each show starts at 6 p.m.

Tickets — $15 for adults, $10 for children and seniors, and free for children younger than 4 — will be sold at the door.

The first performance was Thursday.

More than 130 students, ages 3-19, dance in the show, which will feature a variety of styles: ballet, tap, jazz, hip-hop, musical theater and lyrical.

“Remember Us” is a tribute show to the forefathers, and foremothers, of dance. It will include pieces evoking Shirley Temple, Michael Jackson and others.

A special fundraiser show also is scheduled at 1 p.m. Saturday in the high school auditorium.

It will feature adult dancers as well as award-winning routines by the company.

Admission to the fundraiser show is a suggested donation of $5.
