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:
- Instead of one great big 4+ hour recital, we actually have 4 smaller fun-size recitals to keep each one short and sweet
- Recital Costumes are provided at no additional cost

The Dance Year
The Dance Year (like the school year) runs from August to May. It goes a little something like this:
August
Back to School Season– classes begin!
Most classes are full, though there are a few spots available.
January
Students begin work on the Recital.
As we pass the half-way point of our dance year, we stop taking registration for our current season and start taking registration for our Summer Camps.
March
The Recital is drawing near!
We begin Early Bird Registration for the upcoming Fall Season. We are also still taking registrations for Summer Camps.
Early Bird Registration (before the Recital) is only $45/student!
June
Summer “Break”
After the Recital, most Camps are already full, but it’s a great time to register for the coming season.
If you register after the recital, it’s $55/student.
