    How much does it cost to participate in the recital?

    We try to keep all of the costs as reasonable as we can.  Expect to pay between $20 - $50 for a recital costume for each class your student is in; Tickets will need to be purchased for all recital attendees (your student does not need a ticket); Additional supplies may need to be purchased if you do not already have them (e.g. leotard, dance shoes, tights, leggings, etc.).  You will also have an option to purchase a video of the recital.

    When will tickets be on sale?

    Mid-September!  Pay attention to your email for ticket sale information.  ALL ticket sales will be online.  No tickets will be sold at the desk or at the event.  If you are planning to volunteer, please do not buy a ticket for yourself for the performance that you will be volunteering for.

    How can I purchase the video?

    Video pre-orders will start Mid-September. Purchase information will be included on the ticket sale email. Be on the lookout on our website for the purchase link!
