It is RECITAL SEASON!

What is a recital?

Recital is a huge production(this year two productions) where ALL dancers of the studio are invited. Families fly into town, hair appointments are made for the perfect bun or ponytail, and the dancers are excited to show off what they have worked so hard on in their dance classes. Costumes, great music, and fun fill the entire show time. This is such an important event every year for the dancers. No matter if you are a returning dancer or a new dancer to the studio, recital is something the dancers love to keep being a part of. They get excited about being on a huge stage under the professional lights and hearing their families cheer their name.

Do I have to stay for the entire show?

Yes. Start times are much earlier this year and shows are shorter this year to allow for everyone to please stay and give the same audience to the very last part of the show as the very first part of the show has.

​

How many tickets does my family get?

Each family is able to purchase up to 8 tickets for each show they are assigned to.

 

When do tickets go on sale?

Tickets go on sale May 3rd-May 24th.

 

I have way more than 8 guests wanting to attend, how do I get additional tickets?

Each family is allowed to go online to purchase 8 tickets per show they are assigned to. We are giving each family the duration of May 3rd-May 24th to purchase the eight tickets, but come May 24th, we will be reaching out to those families who have not sold theirs to discuss transferring them to a family in queue. You may also buy the remaining tickets out of your personal 8 tickets if you have guests on the fence about coming. Ultimately, we want to be ahead of the game and if we wait until two days before the shows to see that families have not sold more than half of their tickets, that means those seats are empty and could have been filled with families that could have seen the show. 

 

Who all needs to buy a ticket?

If you are sitting in a seat at the production, you must buy a ticket.

 

How much are tickets?

Tickets for June 2024 recitals are $30 per ticket.
