May Recital- Tickets and Information

Our next performance is our big end of the season Dance Recital in May! 

All classes and dance genres are performing!

May 8th and 9th at Tydings Auditorium.

All Doll Baby and Tiny Toes classes will have their own show on Saturday May 9th at 1:00 pm. 

All other dance genres in levels A, B, C, D, Ballet Folklorico, Hip hop, and Dance Teams will have their shows on Friday May 8th at 6:30 and Saturday May 9th at 6:30. Dancers must perform in both shows to participate. 

We have grown so much that our recital would be too long to have so many dances in the evening shows.  We look forward to providing a special show for our little ones that is shorter and earlier in the day. 

High Ballet Bun no part- All Doll Baby and Tiny Toes Dancers

• If a child's hair is too short or thin for a bun, fake hair or fake hair scrunchies can be put around her hair tie with a hair net wrapped and pinned around to resemble a bun, OR sections of the ponytail can be pinned in loops with a hair net over the top to resemble a bun.

• NO JEWELERY EXCEPT FOR 1 SET OF PIERCED EAR STUDS ARE OK. IF WEARING STUD EARRINGS, THEY CAN BE SILVER, GOLD, WHITE, LIGHT PINK, OR CLEAR.

• ALL DANCERS THAT HAVE A COSTUME CHANGE NEED TO WEAR THEIR OWN NUDE LEOTARD UNDER ALL COSTUMES. THIS ALLOWS FOR EXTRA COVERAGE AND MODEST CHANGING IN THE DRESSING ROOMS.  

• Please put your child’s name inside all dance shoes. 

• A dancer’s tights are their underwear.  No underwear needs to be worn under tights.  They can be seen sticking out of a costume under tights. 

• Be sure tights and leotards are clean and don't have any holes. 

• No personal belongings or bags backstage for Doll Baby and Tiny Toes dancers. Dancers that have a shoe or costume change will be given a disposable bag with their name on it to put their shoes and 2nd costume in (May recital only).  Older dancers bring their dance bags with everything they need, including a water bottle. 

• No toys, tablets, or iPads backstage. Young dancers (Doll Baby and Tiny Toes classes) will have snacks, a movie, coloring, and toys to help entertain them backstage. Level A and up can bring card games if they wish to play with friends after they have performed their dance, but no games on devices and no phones. Level C and D dancers who have phones are allowed to have them, but they need to be put on silent and in their dance bag.  Dancers are to focus on performing and put away any distractions. 

• PLEASE HAVE YOUNG DANCERS USE THE RESTROOM BEFORE THEY ARE DROPPED OFF.

• There will be volunteer mothers helping backstage.  Backstage help must be a mother of a dancer who signed up to help prior to the show.  No friends or relatives can help backstage.

• Dancers cannot be picked up early unless there is an emergency.  All pick-ups will be after the show is over.  

• Once the show starts, the front doors will be locked and there will be NO LATE ENTRY. PLEASE DO NOT BE LATE!

• No video or picture are allowed during the show as they are very distracting to other audience members and dancers. Please respectfully put all devices away and be in the moment and enjoy the show!  A professional video will be taken, edited, and emailed to all parents through a downloadable link.  

• We do not charge any extra recital fees outside of monthly tuition. Rather, a full month's tuition is charged for the month we have a recital. The dance season will end after the recital on May 8th and 9th, so the remaining tuition goes to recital fees to help cover the costs of the auditorium rental, event insurance, lighting and tech fees, programs, recital video, and more.
