Our annual recital is an exciting event for students, staff and parents.  The children have worked very hard all year and are excited to showcase what they have learned.  We as teachers have seen tremendous growth in all of our students since the first day of classes back in September!  For parents new to SVDC, our studio’s dedication and commitment to excellence over the past 29 years has made our recital an outstanding event, from our professional lighting and sound to our dedicated back-stage crew, we take great pride in this annual event.

​

Following, you will find all of the information you need for this exciting time of year.  If you have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to speak to a staff member.  

 

TICKET SALES

Ticket sales start on SATURDAY MAY 25th.  They will be ONLINE and tickets will be reserved on a first come, best seat available basis.   Online orders will start at 10am.  All accounts must be paid for the year (including June tuition), in order to purchase tickets.  You will receive an email with the link to purchase tickets on the morning of Saturday, May 25th.  Each family is allowed UNLIMITED TICKETS. 

​

Since we are performing back at a high school, we were able to drop the ticket price this year.  Ticket price...$17.50 in advance, $19.50 at the door.   All seats are RESERVED SEATING. If dancers will be watching the show, they will need a ticket.  If you have a child under 3, they will not need a ticket if sitting on a lap.  If they occupy a seat, they will need a ticket. There is a ticketing fee of $1.90 per ticket that the ticketing company charges.

ALL MAY & JUNE tuition (including past due balances) must be paid by May 24th.  You will not receive a ticket code to purchase tickets until your account is paid in full (unless you are on auto-pay.  Auto-pay for June will go through June 1st and you can still purchase your tickets in May))

 

RECITAL T-SHIRT

Every year we print a special recital t-shirt commemorating this exciting event!  This year’s t-shirts will be available to order online and will also be available at the recital, but in limited quantity, so please make sure to place your orders in advance! You can order here: RECITAL T-SHIRT LINK 

 

RECITAL DVD’S

Our annual dance recital will be professionally videotaped.  This year we are going to have ALL shows available on USB.  The cost of the USB is $35.  For the safety of our students and integrity of our choreography, videotaping is not allowed during the recital performance.  You can order in your parent portal under Shop at the top of the page.  

 

HAIR/MAKEUP/DRESS CODE

The following applies to Pictures, Dress Rehearsal and Recital.  All children need to wear makeup as performance and camera lighting can make the skin look very pale.  For the younger girls, blue eyeshadow, blush and red lipstick.  Make sure to gel and hair spray hair for a sleek and professional look.  Buns and hair pieces should be secured with bobby pins. Older girls – No black or colored bras straps, nude only! 

NO Jewelry of any kind (unless otherwise instructed), NO nail polish, NO underwear under tights.

This is for the uniformity and professionalism of our dance recital

OTHER REMINDERS:

*  Please make sure to drop your child off at least 9 numbers before their performance.  You can pick up your child after

    they dance.  We do not have babysitting services backstage as our parent volunteers also want to see the show

   after their childrens dances.  Older children are not allowed to hang out in the dressing rooms if they are finished dancing.

​

*  Please make sure to clean up after your dancer in the dressing room.

​

CLASSROOM MOMS

We are looking for Classroom Moms for each performance for ALL Twinkle Stars and Combination Stars classes.  Responsibilities include staying with the class at all times, line ups, walking them backstage, and walking them back to the dressing room after their performance.  Classroom Moms must stay with the entire class until all children have been picked up.  With this, comes the added perk of watching your child from the wings of the stage – the best seat in the house!  Please see the desk to sign up

 

USHERS

We are looking for ushers for all performances.  You may volunteer for as little or as many performances as you like.  Ushers will be handing out programs and monitoring the entry/exit at either our main or side doors as well as helping with ticketing and intermission.
