Welcome to our Annual Dancing for Joy Recital! We are excited to present our 9th Anniversary with our recital theme being "Heaven on Earth." We invite you to participate at our annual Dress Rehearsal & Recital that will be presented at Riverview High School this year (June 1st & 2nd). Our Recital fee will be $35 per dancer due 3/15. Recital tickets will go on sale starting May 1st, and we realize that there are costs involved to put on a big show, so we will have World's Finest Chocolates and candy available to sell to help offset those costs. Please email Mrs. April directly if you need fundraising or are unable to participate, or maybe would like to help our Recital Committee volunteer to offset costs as well.
The recital will be a memorable experience for your child, family, and friends. Please feel free to talk to all returning dancers & parents uof their experience performing in our Recital.

Important Information: 1. Costume Fees: All costume fees are due by Jan 30th @ $55 per costume. We will have a binder of costume pictures at each location by 1/20 for you to view or on the parent portal along with music. Your child's measurements will be taken in class to be sure we order the correct size 2nd week of Jan. All dancers 4 and under will wear pink tights, ballet pink ballet shoes, and tan tap shoes. Dancers 5 and up will wear tan tights for tap/jazz with tan tap/jazz shoes, and pink tights for ballet with pink ballet shoes. Hair slicked back in a bun, hair piece on right side with light stage make up. Please be sure you put names in your dancers costumes and shoes in case they are misplaced.
2. Recital Fees: There are significant costs associated with a production, and the recital fee will help defer the costs involved. The recital fee per dancer is $35 due on 3/15. Your recital fees help cover the cost of theatre rental, labor, props, insurance fees, stage hands, decorations and custodian fees.
3. Recital Tickets: Recital Tickets will go on sale starting May 1st @$15 general admission, and with dancers & volunteers free. At the door will be $20.
4. Costume Distribution: We will distribute costumes at the end of April. All Costume Fees must be paid in order to pick up your costume.
5. Safety: Parents are responsible for their child at the theatre. It is difficult for our staff to conduct rehearsal and care for the children. All backstage moms will be given a name tag to be admitted into the dressing room. We will have a girl only & boy only dressing room. We will only need 1 mom back stage per class, since this will be the safest for us all. Let us know if you would like to help.
6. Line Up: The order of the show will be posted soon. Students will be called to line up to be taken to the stage before their dance 5 dances ahead of time. Our backstage assistants & teachers will call the dancers, and bring them to the stage. As soon as they're done with their dance they will be taken back to the Theatre - We will have designated rows in the back of the theatre where they will sit with their class and class mom (They will have an adult with them at all times!) This will minimize distractions during the show and allow for easier line up for their dances and the finale. This is different from years past, but will allow for a more organized show. Any questions or concerns please contact Mrs April.
7. Block Rehearsals We will have Block Rehearsals the week before the show instead of class the week at the studio in regular dance clothes.
