· When is the last day of classes?
The last day of classes will be Saturday, June 21, 2025.
· Why do we have to pay for tickets?
There are a lot of expenses associated with putting on a recital, i.e. venue rental, scenery, insurance, program creation/printing, etc. These expenses add up!!! Without this fee, the studio would not have the means to put on a yearly show!
· Why are the dancers required to wear make-up on stage?
Dancers wear make-up on stage to enhance their facial features, which can be washed out under the bright stage lights. This will also ensure they look great in your recital video!
· Why are only backstage volunteers allowed backstage?
For the safety of the dancers! It would be too difficult to track whether each child is going with the proper adult if hundreds of parents were backstage. We appreciate your patience and understanding!
· Does my child have to stay for the entire show?
Yes! All dancers return to the stage for a final bow and to receive an award at the conclusion of the show. Children will be released to their
parents after final bows. Besides, ALL of the dancers have worked very hard and equally deserve to have a full audience to watch and
cheer for their performances!
· Can my child sit with me in the audience during the show?
Yes! Children can sit with their parent/guardian during the show if you purchase a ticket for them to sit along with your family. All other
dancers will be together in a designated room/designated seats in the back of the auditorium, before and during the show
with class volunteers.
· If I volunteer to help backstage, will I still see my child dance?
Yes! Volunteers escort the class to the backstage area 3-5 numbers before their dance. Once the class is released to the backstage area,
you can then go to the audience to watch them on stage. After they exit the stage, volunteers return to the backstage area to escort them
back to the designated holding room. This is a great way to get a complimentary ticket to the show!
