Recital Information
Do all dancers participate in recital?
Yes! Our annual recital is an exciting opportunity for dancers to showcase their hard work and growth from the season.
Can we take photos or videos during recital?
We do recital pictures ahead of time and pictures are taken by a professional photographer.
To respect all dancers and comply with venue policies, we hire a videographer and all dancers will receive the he video which is included in the recital fee.
How do recital tickets and fees work?
Recital tickets will be sold separately from tuition and costume fees, as we rent a professional theater venue to provide dancers and families with a high-quality performance experience including professional staging, lighting, sound, and seating.
In addition, a separate recital fee will be charged during the season. This fee helps cover recital-related production expenses and will also include a professional video link of the recital performance for families to keep and enjoy. Ticket sale dates, pricing, and additional recital details will be communicated in advance.
