Friday June 13th and Saturday June 14th
Welcome to our Recital info center!
Here you will locate ALL information pertaining to our Summer Dance Recital as it is released.
Please email Miss Leilani with any questions you may have.
"Costume Pages" are class specific flyers that include a picture of your dancers selected costume as well as their classes full cost (including registration). Please keep in mind this is the FULL COST without any sibling or multi class discounts. If applicable these discounts will be manually calculated upon registration. Please see your email to locate your dancer's "Costume Page".
Dancers with 3 or more classes may request a "Multi Class Breakdown". This breakdown will provide you with your dancer's total including any applicable discounts.
Once you have determined your dancer's registration total utilizing their "Costume Page" it is time to register! Registration begins Monday April 7th and will close on Wednesday April 16th at 11:59. Please note that your dancer's full cost is due upon registration and must be paid in full prior to Wednesday April 16th at 11:59pm. You may click the link below to register your dancer for the show!
Your dancer will be measured in class prior to the conclusion of registration on Wednesday April 16th. If your dancer will be participating in the show and has not been measured by this date, please contact Miss Leilani to schedule a measurement appointment by Saturday April 19th. Once measurements have been completed your dancer will be ordered the size that most closely corresponds with their measurements.
Preparing for the Show
Now that your dancer has been registered it is time to prepare for the show! To do so your dancer will need to be in attendance for their class on a weekly basis to ensure no choreography is missed. In addition to in class attendance having your dancer review their routine(s) at home will greatly affect their confidence on stage. Attached below you will find hyperlinks to each classes' recital music organized by day of the week for your dancer to utilize for practicing.
Costume try on week
Once costumes have been inventoried it is time for try ons! Costume try ons will take place in your dancers regularly scheduled class. You will be notified via email when your dancers costume is prepped for try ons. During costume try on week we ask that your dancer come in a leotard and shorts to allow for an expedited try on process.

Failure to do so may result in removal from the audience without refund for the remainder of the show. Signage will be present inside of the theater to indicate which areas larger cameras or videos cameras are permitted. All isle ways must remain 100% clear for the full duration of the show.
