In Episode 89, we're back with our 5 Fun Things series! After a very busy stretch at Rhythm and Confetti, we’re excited to reconnect and share what we’ve been up to. Here are 5 Fun Fall Festivities we've been up to at Rhythm since our last episode!
1. Year-End Show Reveal
Our annual Reveal continues to be one of the most anticipated events of the entire season. With a large graduating class and a need for lots of character opportunities, we built four days of clues leading up to the announcement. The reveal of The Greatest Rhythm Show: A Sparktacular Circus Spectacle—our circus-inspired spin on The Greatest Showman—generated huge buzz in the studio and online. Immediately afterward, we decorated our Fun Wall with themed banners and balloons, which became a favorite photo spot throughout the fall.
2. Fun at the Fair with Senior Edge Company
To celebrate the new show theme and give our seniors a night out, we headed to the North Georgia State Fair. The dancers arrived in Circus-inspired looks (with grads dressed as their individual show characters), and the bright fairgrounds provided the perfect backdrop for fun and colorful photos we’ll use throughout the season. We created a scavenger hunt, divided them into teams, and sent them off to complete creative tasks—from snapping cotton candy pics to teaching dance moves to strangers. At the end of the night, dancers filled out a form with personalized compliments for each teammate. We compiled the messages into keepsake prints featuring a photo and all the notes from their peers.
3. Year-End Show Retreat
Our annual retreat remains a cornerstone of our season. We rented a peaceful Airbnb south of Atlanta to focus on planning the entire show—concepts, music, edits, costumes, costume orders, emails, dress rehearsal schedules, and more. The setting allowed for fresh air, walks, porch time, and the kind of creative space that makes the workload manageable. It was packed with productivity, but also with fun, food, and a little college football in the background.
4. Halloweek at Rhythm
Halloweek is always a fall favorite. Dancers dress up all week long, and our faculty goes all-in with coordinated costumes for a themed photo and video shoot scheduled during a staff meeting. This year, even with a circus theme in play, K-Pop Demon Hunter–inspired costumes absolutely dominated. Our adult classes also delivered full-out, spooky, highly produced videos with elaborate staging and costumes. Their commitment grows every year and the results are always a highlight!
5. Raise the Roof and Hammer Out Hunger
With construction still underway on our new studios, we leaned into a building theme for our fall community outreach. We launched a food drive benefiting MUST Ministries, and our Rhythm families responded with incredible generosity. A friendly competition between companies added extra excitement, with the winning group earning a pizza party. Next month we’ll shift from food to warm clothing, collecting coats and winter wear for local schools. We always look forward to giving back to our community!
