General Information & Policies

The annual recital is the highlight of our year! This exciting event allows our dancers to showcase their progress, build confidence, and experience the magic of performing in a professionally run production. It’s a special time for students to demonstrate their hard work while family and friends celebrate their achievements.

We encourage all dancers—whether seasoned performers or first-time participants—to take part in this fun and supportive experience. If your child is unable to perform on the scheduled recital dates, please inform us as soon as possible so we can adjust their class routines accordingly.

Attendance & Preparation

To ensure a smooth and confident performance, we kindly ask that students attend as many scheduled classes as possible leading up to the recital. Consistent attendance helps dancers feel prepared and allows their routines to shine. If your child must miss a class, please notify us via phone or text so we can plan accordingly.
