The annual dance recital is at the end of the main season. It is a special performance where dancers showcase the skills and routines they’ve worked hard on throughout the year. It’s a celebratory event for students to perform on stage in costume, build confidence, and share their progress with family and friends. The recital highlights each class’s choreography and gives every dancer the chance to shine.
 

Every dancer registered in the main season classes will perform in the recital, unless they opt out. (You can opt-out here). The performance package includes the Recital Fee and Costumes.
