What is recital like and how do I purchase tickets?

Recital is our biggest performance event of the year. Your dancer and their classmates have worked incredibly hard all year to showcase all they have learned!

With our recital, you and your dancer will experience a professional performance setting, equipped with a real stage, lights, music, and an audience. Recital is a great way to build confidence and perform for loved ones.

A ticket day will be announced in January 2025, along with an explanation of how to purchase tickets.

Tickets will also be sold at the door on the day of recital for a slightly higher price. So buy your tickets in advance!
