Recital Central Page
Recital Central is a page that is continuously updated with all the information you will need for recital. We recommend bookmarking the page and checking in frequently if you have any questions about rehearsals, costumes, tickets, recital day, picture day, or anything else recital related.
Recital Tickets on Sale 4/25
Tickets for our June recitals will go on sale at 10am on Tuesday 4/25. Each family will be limited to an initial 3 tickets per dancer / per show time in the first round of ticket sales. All remaining tickets will be sold on a first-come, first-serve basis in the 2nd round of sales starting on 5/16.
NOTE – UPDATE 4/28/23: If your dancer is only in the FIRST HALF of any performance, you will have the option to sign them out at intermission. You can opt to go home, or you and your dancer can rejoin the audience. If you plan to have your dancer watch the 2nd half of the performance, you WILL need to account for their seat/ticket when purchasing tickets. Again, this is only for any dancer that is ONLY in the FIRST HALF of any performance. Thank you
WANT YOUR CHOICE OF SEATS?
This year we are introducing a contest. The dancer/family that sells the most tickets will be allowed into the theatre 5 minutes before we open the house to have first choice of seating for their show time (max 8-10 people). To track the sales we will ask on the order form who that person is coming to watch and support. Each time you, a friend, family member, or neighbor enters your dancer’s name, we will add to your totals.
The dance family with the highest total for each individual showtime will win!
Good luck!

Why Choose Dance?
Dance is a unique sport. It requires the individual to be both an artist and an athlete. Strength, flexibility, and motor skill development are just some of the physical benefits. Dance also has a lot of mental and social benefits as well. Learning to be part of a group, working as a team, communication, and trust are built in classes. Dance is also ideal for setting individual goals. Watching our students gain confidence in themselves and their abilities is a fulfilling thing to see.
