A recital fee of $110 per dancer/family will be due the week of Monday, April 28th through Saturday, May 3rd. All dancers/families will receive 10 tickets.

This year there will be 2 recital shows and the younger classes will perform in only 1 of the shows. If your dancer performs in one show, they will receive 10 tickets for that show(6 main floor and 4 balcony). For the dancers performing in two shows, their 10 tickets may be split between the shows with a maximum of 6 tickets(4 main floor, 2 balcony) for one show and 4 for the opposite show.

Handicap seating is available, either a spot for a wheelchair or just no stairs. These are also in groups of 2 or 4 depending on availability and are considered to be main floor seats.

A ticket form for you to indicate the seating arrangements you will need is being sent home this week or you can use the link below for a form. Please turn this form in by Thursday, May 1st.

The tickets are chosen by each dancer in a random drawing. Extra tickets are $10 and will be available May 8th. If you want extra tickets, please let us know and we will add your name to our list.
