Dress Rehearsal & Pictures: Thursday, May 23rd, 6:00pm 

Recital: Saturday, May 25th, 2:30pm – call times starting at 1:30pm

Attendance this semester is extremely important for recital participants. Each of our lovely dancers is a vital instrument to the piece their class is preparing to perform. All dancers must be present weekly in order for them to successfully rehearse choreography, timing, formations, and staging. This is a wonderful opportunity for dancers to experience and learn from working as a team and see how gratifying that can be when it all comes to life on stage!

Getting Ready:

• Mark the rehearsal and show dates on your calendar.
• Be sure you have the appropriate dance shoes and tights (where applicable) for your dancer(s).

Pictures: We will be taking group pictures at dress rehearsal after your dancer performs. (Please note: parents will not be accompanying their dancer into the actual photo session for group photos.) Opportunities for individual pictures will be available as well. Picture order forms are available at the front desk.

Tickets: 4 tickets are provided as part of your recital fee (6 if you have more than 1 dancer performing in recital). Extra tickets are $10 each and are available for pre-purchase here under “Spring Recital Tickets” (or tickets will be $12 at the door). Tickets will be available to pick up at the front desk the week prior to the show. Any unclaimed tickets will be available at will call in the lobby the day of the show.

DVDs: Pre-Order a DVD of the recital here: https://maginationvideo.com/ and receive $5.00 off! Use coupon code FS5 for FREE SHIPPING!
