April 2025

Hello!

Can you believe it’s already April? That means we’re just 60 days away from our recital and only two months left in the season! It’s the perfect time to double down on practice, refine those routines, and embrace the excitement that comes with the final stretch. In this month’s newsletter, we’ll share all the important dates, tips for recital prep, and a few special updates to help you finish the season strong. Let’s make these last two months count as we get ready to shine on stage!

Exciting Recital News!

To create a more enjoyable experience for our dancers and their families, we are hosting two recitals this year! This allows us to keep each show at a comfortable length while still showcasing all of our amazing performers. We know how special this day is, and we want everyone to enjoy the experience without long wait times.

Dress Rehearsal is on Saturday May 31st, 2025

Specific call times will be provided at a later date.

Recital is on Sunday June 1, 2025

Recital 1: 12:00 PM to 2:16 PM
Recital 2: 4:00 PM to 7:04 PM

Most dancers will perform in one or other shows, but some dancers will perform in both, such as those in Production (Opening Act) and of course our Seniors. The parent portal tells you which recitals your dancer is performing in. A list will also be posted on the bulletin boards.

Recital Tickets

Each family will receive a code for two complimentary tickets to the Main seating section. You can purchase more or upgrade as needed.

Tiered Seating:

Premium (unobstructed view with access to VIP Lounge and complimentary snacks)
Front Row (seats nearest the stage)
Main Section (general seating area)
Balcony (3 flights of stairs, no elevator)

Important! Even though we have two shows, you only buy tickets once! If you are planning on attending both shows, please only purchase tickets to the first show. Contact us before selecting tickets to the second show so we can send you a code for free tickets!

Tickets will go on sale April 12th. There will be a $5 discount per ticket until April 19th.
