RECITAL

WHAT IS A RECITAL?

The students end their session by performing a routine at a theatre on stage. This allows parents, relatives and friends to see what the student has learned over the year and to celebrate their accomplishments. It is a great opportunity for the student to enhance their performance skills. All students will be invited to perform at this event. This will take place in June. We will have a rehearsal and a performance. This is not mandatory; however we encourage students to participate. The performance is the icing on the cake!

Recital Tickets will need to be purchased by family and friends. The cost will be $14.00 per ticket. Children 3 years and older will need to have a ticket. We will have two shows, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Dancers will not need to purchase a ticket for the show they are performing in. The cost for the tickets will cover the cost of the Theatre and programs. Tickets will go on sale two weeks prior to the Recital. The cost will be more if purchased at the door.

COSTUMES

Costumes will need to be purchased for the yearly recital. Parents are responsible for the cost. If a dancer has a combination class, only one routine will be performed and only one costume will be needed.

The costume price will be $65.00. We will collect the money in January after we take all dancers measurements. We will order them in February for the June Recital. We will receive them sometime in May. Some classes may require a seamstress to make the costume. If that occurs the costume price will be between $65 and $80.

Please Note: If there is a balance owing on your account, costumes will be kept at studio until balance is cleared.

There may be a possibility that another pair of Tap or Ballet shoes will have to be purchased for the recital only if necessary to match a costume.

The $65.00 is non-refundable, however if you have purchased a costume and cannot be in the recital the costume is yours to keep.

Please be aware that you may have to make alterations to your dancer’s costume. We order most costumes from Dance Costume Companies and the costumes may not be exact measurements.

Tights: Tights will need to be purchased for the yearly recital. Parents are responsible for the cost. The cost is $11.00 for Child, $15 for Adult. We will measure and order approximately 2 months before the recital, around May.

PHOTOGRAPHS

Every year before Recital a professional photographer will come to the studio and take pictures of each group in full costume. You are not obligated to purchase any of the pictures, however it is mandatory that each student be present on the scheduled day that the pictures are taken.

The photo session usually occurs in late May or early June. Our photographer will come back at a later date and allow parents and family to view the pictures taken and purchase them if they want.
