We've put on our creative hats, and we're envisioning various stories, timeless fairytales, and classical ballets that convey a message and captivate the audience. Most importantly, we aim to showcase our dancers, allowing families and friends to witness their dedication, effort, and passion for dance. Rest assured, no matter the story, we believe you'll enjoy it, as all our students have been putting in tremendous effort and are evolving into graceful, skilled technical dancers!

• Students in PRE-level classes (Tu-Tu 2's, Pre-Ballet 1, 2, and 3, Pre-Jazz, and Contemporary Minis) will be in ONE show only. Each class will be assigned a showtime once the story is chosen.
• Students in UPPER-level classes (Ballet 1-4, Modern 1-3, Jazz 1-2, Tap) will be in BOTH shows.

RECITAL HANDOUTS

Recital handouts have been distributed to students. However, some students have been absent, we've missed some, and some handouts have been left behind. Please click on these links:

RECITAL FEES DUE

First, let's explain how we create our recital enrollment database. For each class a student is enrolled in in the Winter Session, they are automatically rolled into both the upcoming Spring Session database AND the Recital database. If your child will be CHANGING CLASSES or WITHDRAWING from the program, or, if there is an ERROR in their current enrollment, please email us immediately so we can update our database. 

Now that the database has been created and recital participation fees have been added to your account, a payment requst for the recital participation fees will be emailed to you shortly. These fees do not include the Spring Session fees. They will be emailed to you in the next few weeks. They are due February 22. There is a link on the payment request email to make a payment, OR you can make a payment online OR you can pay person with the office manager. 

Please read the information below OR the 2025 Recital Pariticiipatiton Information Handouts for a full description about recital participation, the non-refundable fees, outstanding balances, etc.
