Please note that we ask each family to carefully check their calendar and other commitments before submitting the recital form.

It is difficult and stressful for faculty and students alike to make changes as the performances draw near if a student cannot fulfill their commitment.

    Each performance will be different – please check the schedule carefully! Some dancers/families will participate in more than one performance. We try to keep this to a minimum but due to the complexity of scheduling, it is not completely unavoidable.

  • Tickets are $7.00 each and will be available on May 1st. (General admission) Tickets should be ordered via an order sheet at the front desk, and you will receive your tickets at that time. Tickets will also be available at the dress rehearsal and at each performance.

  • Mike Keune will be videotaping the performances. An order form will be available at the performances.

  • Please double-check all costumes before and after the dress rehearsal and each performance to ensure that you have all items. Put your name or initials on each piece of clothing and shoes. It will not be possible to replace costumes at the last minute.

  • Our youngest dancers (Preschool classes and Primary classes) are not required to wear make-up. Other dancers need to wear makeup so that facial features show up onstage. Makeup should be natural-looking – neutral eye colors, mascara, blush, and lipstick. Make-up should be done at home before the dress rehearsal and performance.
