A note from Dinah, DP Director
I will never forget my first recital. A red gingham tutu and two big giant bows styled in my pigtails. The excitement, the buzz, the colorful costumes all swirling together backstage. My mom was a parent volunteer and I can still see her smiling and chatting it up with the other adults backstage. I remember playing London Bridges and when the teenagers came to join in I was smitten with their make up and hair. I instantly was in love with the community. We traveled through the backstage area in lines with my teacher and anxiously waited in the wings for our turn to take the stage. Standing in the wings was also a thrill, knowing that just beyond the curtain an audience of my family and friends were waiting for me. Then the lights, the applause, the pure joy and exhilliration of being on that stage! Oh sure I was nervous, but WOW, the feeling of performing was pure bliss...I was hooked. Then after, the sweet hugs my family and friends gave me...their congratulations and endless kisses...I was beaming because I knew I had just done something super special...and you know what I did!!!! I got on stage after a year of learning and practicing with a group of friends and performed my little heart out in front of a large audience. I worked hard, I was brave, and I had so much fun!
The opportunity to perform in a recital is an exciting, empowering and confidence-building part of a dancer's journey. At our professionally run recital production, your children will be able to showcase their hard work, dedication and artistic expression while family and friends can celebrate their achievements.
We love giving our students the chance to perform in this supportive and fun environment and encourage even our youngest and newest performers to be involved. Our recitals are a true celebration of DREAMS, milestones, talent, passion, and the joy of dance!
Thank you for choosing The Dance Project for your child's dance education and journey,
Dinah
