Our annual recital takes place in the spring, it's the most anticipated event of the year for our studio family! Recitals are optional; however, they are a major focus in dance class and a culmination of your dancer's progress over the year. Most students participate in this annual performance. This is your dancer's time to shine and be a star!

​

Although dancers won't start learning their recital dances until after the new year, our team is already starting to plan for it. Please take a moment to read through the recital details carefully below!

 

Recital Fees and Extra Costs

• All recital fees are nonrefundable for any reason

• Payment Schedule: All families will be charged the $125 recital fee on October 1st unless you "opt out" using the link above. Costume fees will be split into three equal payments  on November 1st, December 1st and January 1st.

• Recital Fee and Costume Fees: To participate in recital, both a recital fee and a costume fee payment are due. Our recital fee is per family (not per dancer) and is mandatory. This $125 fee covers the cost of shipping/handling, sizing, ordering, exchanges, alterations, digital recordings of all the shows, new tights for each dancer, costume management and other costs associated with our recitals beyond the cost of costuming. Costumes are $105 each and there is a different costume for each class that your dancer participates in. The recital fee will increase to $150 for any families joining us after October 1st.

• Recital Tickets: Recital tickets will be sold online only beginning in May. The date and time that the ticket sales will open is above. Tickets will be $10-50 (plus taxes/fees) based on location in the venue. You will need separate tickets for each show and for every family member sitting in the audience (excluding lap children). Performing dancers will not need a ticket during their own show as they will remain backstage until the final bow. 

• Recital T-Shirt: You will have the option to order a recital t-shirt in January at $25 each. The t-shirt will have our recital design on the front and the names of all dancers participating in recital on the back. This makes a wonderful keepsake.

• Tuition: Your account must be paid in full for the year in order for your dancer to participate in both tech rehearsal and recital.

Recital Details

• Preparing for Recital: Teachers will choose costumes and songs in November, to be revealed in January. Students will work from January through June to master the steps for each of their dances so attendance is extremely important at this time of year. Dancers must be in attendance at three of the last four classes of the year in order to participate in recital. Costumes will be distributed during the last month of classes.

• Rehearsal: The week before the show, all students will be required to participate in mandatory dress rehearsal before the actual recital. Dancers will wear their costume and stage makeup. 

• Recital Day: On recital day, students will be expected to arrive in their first costume with stage makeup already applied and hair in place. Students will be given a curtain call time approximately 30 minutes before the show and need to arrive promptly. All dancers will be required to stay for the ENTIRE show and will be released after the final bow. Each show will last approximately 2 hours.
