General Info 

Show times and location

This year our recital will be held at Lincoln-Way West High School Auditorium on June 14th.

For us to give all students as much stage-time as possible and make sure the running time isn’t too long, we have divided our classes into separate shows. We know that our dancers love to perform their routines and show off their hard work as much as possible, and we are thrilled to be able to offer more seating and ticket opportunities by dividing our recital into two shows.

The show will kick off at 12:30 pm. 

Performers are required to arrive no later than 12:00 pm with their hair/makeup done.

Show 2

Participation

Registration in our Spring Session assumes recital participation. Participation is not required to take classes, but you must let us know by March 5, 2026 if you will not be performing in Recital. Just call or email the studio.  This lets us know you are not participating and confirms that you are billed correctly, and that a costume is not ordered if you are not participating. 

Updates

As the season progresses, additional show information will be added to this site. Our goal is to make the show an organized, exciting experience for everyone involved. It’s a team effort: students, their parents, the teachers, and the director are key players in the show’s success. Keep checking for more information.
