On With the Show!
The word RECITAL doesn’t really do it justice– it’s really more of a Dance Extravaganza!
This exciting experience gives students an opportunity to display their accomplishments and a purpose to perfect their work.
Things you'll love as a parent:
- Each Class will get to perform a dance in the recital
- Instead of one great big 4+ hour recital, we actually break them into smaller "Fun Size!" shows to keep each one short and sweet
- Recital Costumes are provided at no additional cost! Yup, you read that right! No Recital Fees, No Costumes Fees. Just concentrate on enjoying yourself.
