Recital and Costume information -There are 3 separate performances for different age students. The older students' recital includes 5th grade and up dance students. The grade school students in 2nd gr. through 4th gr. and the younger student recital will include Preschool, Kindergarten and 1st grade dance students. Separate performances make the shows shorter and more convenient for students and parents. There will be a $45.00 recital fee per family to help cover rising costs of theatre rentals, insurance, etc. Recital costumes range from $45.00 to $55.00 and are ordered in December. You will be billed for costumes in November. All costumes are made to order and are non-refundable. If you choose not to participate in the recital after costumes have been ordered and paid for, there will be NO refund.
