Participation in our spring recital is optional, but highly recommended for all students in performance classes. Depending on enrollment, we will plan to have two recitals to accommodate our growing student count.
Spring recital dress rehearsals will be held during classes in spring once we receive costumes. Parents will receive information about alterations or embellishments that need to be made following this dress rehearsal. Dress rehearsal information will be provided in the spring semester.

Company members will perform selected competitive pieces during recital and will use costuming from competition. Company may be asked to purchase pieces to be used for an opening number or finale. Company members have the option to perform only company dances or purchase costumes and perform with their classes.
