Mandatory Dress Rehearsal: Friday December 12th at Cardinal O’Hara High School
Performance: Saturday December 13th at Cardinal O’Hara High School 2:00pm
We are excited to announce that we are starting to begin the routines for our annual Christmas Recital! We do our Christmas show a little bit differently than our end of the year recital. Rather than each class performing their own routine, we group some of the classes together by age and they perform a routine together. This makes our show short and sweet while giving the dancers a chance to practice on a stage! Year after year this has been one of our favorite events! Dancers will learn and practice these routines in their classes for the next few weeks. Please refer to the class groupings below. If your child dances in several classes, they may have more than one routine, please double check!!
We typically do not order or charge for costumes for this performance. We will ask dancers to wear something festive from home such as a Christmas dress or holiday sweater. Specific attire guidelines will be sent home before Thanksgiving break. See below!
Participation Form:
Please let us know if your dancer will or will not be participating by using the following link, no later than November 10th so our teachers can accommodate the routines for dancers who may not be able to attend.
