• Q: What is the difference between Mandatory Class Dates and In-theatre Dress Rehearsals?
  A: To participate in recitals your dancer must attend both the mandatory class week and in-theatre dress rehearsals. Mandatory class week is the final chance teachers have to review dance material and run the dance as a group before we take the stage. Anytime we have dancers about to hit the stage, the previous class week is mandatory. The in-theatre dress rehearsals are for lighting, sound, dancers, teachers, and backstage crew to all get on the same page before we run the shows. Each are important and serve a different purpose for a successful recital.
• Q: Will my dancer participate in all four shows and rehearsals?
  A: All four shows are different groups of classes. If your dancer is only in one class, you will only participate in one of the four dress rehearsal and its corresponding show time. If you dance with and sign up for multiple recital groups, then yes, you may end up in multiple shows and rehearsals. For now, please save all 4 dates.
• Q: How do I know which show (lineup) I will be in?
  A: We do not know internal details yet. Line ups for each show time will be set and circulated in late March and you can begin to plan for June at that time.
• Q: Can I request to be in a specific show time?
  A: No. There are a long list of factors that go into making show line ups including the over 200 dancers that will take the stage that weekend. Personal schedules and vacations can not be included in the decision making process. If you want to participate please save all four dates (rehearsal and recital dates) so you are available regardless of where you land in the line ups.
• Q: If I am in multiple numbers, will they all be in the same show?
  A: We won’t know until March. It’s possible but not guaranteed.
• Q: What if we have siblings dancing in different classes, will they be in the same show?
  A: We won’t know until March. It’s possible but not guaranteed.

Tickets
All tickets are $20 in advance and at the door.

• Pre-sale round 1
  • 4/21/26 – 5/12/26 – families can reserve and pay for 1-4 tickets per performer per show
• Presale round 2
  • 5/14/26 – 6/12/26 – families can reserve and pay for additional tickets beyond the 4 per performer, given the show has not sold out.   
• Tickets will be distributed starting 6/8/26
• Families with siblings will have tickets available per dancer. This is not a family limit. (for example if you have 2 dancers in the same show you may order up to 8 tickets in round 1. This is true for all the shows they are performing in. Not just one.)
• Tickets are nonrefundable.
• No tickets are bundled with your base fee. The tickets will need to be ordered and paid for once the pre-sale period is open. 
• Performers will be allowed to sign out from the backstage area after their numbers are complete (but will be left out of the finale dance if they choose this option). Dancers that get signed out will be allowed to sit in the audience to watch the remainder of the show, but they will need a ticket. Be sure to account for your plan in your ticket count.

Recital Central 

Our “RECITAL CENTRAL’‘ page will include all the necessary information about recital, rehearsals, picture day, photography orders, costume info, and venue specs. Each recital email sent during prep months will be linked to the recital central page. We will let you know when it’s live. 

Eligibility

All group classes outside of technique only classes are eligible to participate in the recital. Performances are optional but very fun and motivating for the students. We usually have over 90% of our dancers participate in our recitals each year.

If your child is taking multiple classes per week you can pick and choose which one(s) you would like to perform. It does not have to be all or nothing as far as recital registration is concerned. If your dancer is excited to dance with all their classes, we would love to see you there! We will leave it to you as a family to decide what is best for you and your dancer.

Commitment

Please kindly make a commitment to finishing all the required aspects of performing in a show. It is very difficult for a young beginner class to absorb cast changes in the weeks leading up to the show. These kids are incredibly resilient and they rebound but I am asking you to consider all the layers of the commitment before signing up. I would love it if we could strive for zero late drops in May and June. I’m mentioning this now so you pre-plan travel and vacation needs before committing to a show. I know many of you prioritize PCPA recitals before setting your summer vacations and that truly makes my heart explode. Thank you!!!! Your athlete benefits tremendously from seeing this through to the finale on closing night! 

Performance Team families

Please remember that team numbers will be performed once on recital weekend. If you are taking a class as a team requirement (i.e. ballet) , performing in recital with that class is also part of the requirement. If you have classes in addition to or beyond the minimum requirements those recital numbers are optional. 

Your base fee ($159) for recital participation was already covered in the team fees you paid in the beginning of the season. Your charges will be based on adding the additional recital numbers which are $82.00 each. 

Performance team families – classes you are taking that cover team requirements also include the recital performance as part of the required training. If you are taking more than your required class load you may decide if you want to opt into those recital numbers or not.

Example, MC Hammer is in mini jazz. He is required to take mini jazz and ballet. Mini jazz number is in the recital and covered (base fee/already paid in your installments). MC should plan to sign up for the ballet recital number ($82.00). Please send a form our way regardless of the requirement. The recital form will confirm we are all on the same page and the method of payment you want to use for additional recital fees. MC takes 2 extra classes because he loves to dance. Those two class numbers become optional and so do the additional fees. Please let us know if you have any questions.

Your recital registration form lets us know your final plan with consideration of required classes, optional classes, and payment method for additional fees.

Teachers Assistant

TA’s do not perform in the class number for the group they are helping. If their recital schedule allows we would love to have them offering support to their designated class during rehearsal and stage time. More info on this is coming soon!  

Fundraising

It would be great for us to sell out all four of our recitals. If I could kindly plant the seed to bring all your friends, family, neighbors, teachers, coaches, etc. we would greatly appreciate the support trying to get as many bottoms in seats as possible. Thank you in advance. I highly recommend sending Save The Date notes to your contacts.
