What is the recital like?
In a word FUN! Our annual recital are a chance for the dancers to perform pieces that have been working on in class. On a stage, with professional lighting and sound dancers get a feel for what being in the spotlight is like. Our faculty works hard to ensure a well run show each year and above all makes sure our dancers have a positive experience! We love hearing the dancers recap their favorites parts of the show each year and the joy they show makes it all worth it.

Yes, tickets will go on sale several weeks before the show. We sell tickets online and parents and friends can purchase at their leisure.
