Recital INFORMATION
Participation in the end of the year dance recital is not mandatory; it is strongly encouraged however and is considered an important part of the overall dance experience. Dancing is a performing art and the performance is the highlight of a dancer's experience, something for them to look forward to and to strive toward. Being part of a performance helps build self-esteem and self-confidence and gives students a chance to showcase the results of all of their hard work, dedication, and progress. All of our students, regardless of level, are invited to perform in our annual recital.
The rehearsal process is also a tremendous learning experience as well. It helps the children develop retention skills, and by working with their classmates on a group performance, they learn the positive aspects of working as a team to create the best end result. The anticipation and excitement will build each week as the performance date nears and although partiality is not shown in classes towards dancers who choose not to participate they inevitably will begin to feel left out. The dance recital is held at the end of academic year, usually in June.

COMMITMENTThe dance recital is an exciting time but it is also an important commitment. Students that miss (even one class) become lost and often emotionally affected and over-whelmed while trying to catch up.
They become overloaded while trying to learn last week’s steps and the current ones in the middle of our recital preparations. If you are in doubt regarding your child’s participation in the dance recital, please contact us to discuss the issue. |
COSTUMESStudents will learn a different recital routine for each class they are enrolled in; students in multiple classes are encouraged to participate in the performance of each of their classes. There is a different costume associated with each class.
Children will be measured for their costumes in January. Costumes will be ordered by the Dance Academy by mid-January to ensure delivery in time for the dance recital. Costumes will be handed out by the end of May. |
RECITAL FEEThe recital fee covers: the costume and venue costs (auditorium rental, custodian fee, sound and tech. operator fee, music licensing, and insurance protection.)
