We anticipate having 2 days this year, however, we do not know for certain which show day your dancer will be in. All show times are to be determined. The dress rehearsal schedule going home with dancers in early May, will have the specific show your dancer is in and the check-in times for that show.

Show: Saturday, May 31st & Sunday, June 1st. Show times to be determined.
Costumes
When it comes to a dance performance, we believe costumes are important and add value to a show. However, the MOST important thing about our show opportunities is always our dance technique and the practice of performing. Our recital costumes fees are split into three different tiers of pricing. The recital costume fee includes costumes and tights where applicable. Costume fees will be charged on January 25th and are non-refundable.
Tier 1: $75.00. Beginner classes and all Ballet classes.
Tier 2: $50.00. Level 2 classes and up (excluding Ballet classes.)
Tier 3: $30.00. Classes consisting of Company members who are going to be performing in multiple dances.
Hair and Make-up
Teachers will be asking parents to come in closer to the show to go over costumes and hairstyles. Make-up should be kept pretty simple. Light stage makeup is preferred.
Participation
All dance students will be automatically enrolled in the Spring Recital. Our hope is that all dancers participate! Students who will NOT be able to participate in the Spring Recital can opt-out by completing an Opt-Out form at our front desk. Dancers that opt-out should not plan to attend classes for the month of May, due to the extra time spent in class preparing for the show. All classes will participate in the recital EXCEPT: Strength & Stretch, Tumbling for Dancers, Convention Choreo and Turns/Leaps/Tricks. The Opt-Out deadline is January 20th.
Fees and Payments
There will be a $90.00 participation fee for each performing student as well as the required costume fee for the class. The participation fee also includes 2 complimentary tickets, a participation medal and NEW THIS YEAR: a video of all the recital shows. The Recital Participation and Costume Fees will be charged on January 25th and are non-refundable.
Example: 1 Dance, Jr. Ballet 1 = $90.00+ $75.00 = $165.00 total
Example: 2 Dances, Jr Ballet 1 & Jr. Tap 1 = $90.00+ $75.00+ $75.00= $240.00 total
Tickets
Each dancer will receive 2 complimentary tickets per show they are in. Additional tickets will be available for purchase at Airborne for $15.00 per ticket.
Attendance
Attendance is required for both Dress Rehearsal and the Show. Please make sure you can attend both days. Class attendance is also important as teachers begin to teach choreography. The more your dancer is present in class the more confident they will feel on stage!
