All Dancers with exceptable attendence are invited to participate in our Winter show and Year-end June recital.

Winter Recital Friday, December 6th 2024 5:00pm at Three Rivers School
Our Holiday recital this year is " Winter Wonderland". This is a more casual show to bring together the studio community to celebrate winter and for classes to get a small glimpse at performing before the big recital in June.

End-of-Year Recital
Theme to be announced. Our June Recital is held at a one of the local High School auditoriums. This is the BIG show.
Professional Costumes (Approx. $75-$100 per class) are ordered in JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2024 for the end-of- year recital. Professional Photos are taken once costumes come in, that will be scheduled on a weekend TBA in March/April 2025. Tuition paid May 15th-June15th covers the cost of classes and recital fee. This way everyone's recital fee is specific to the amount of hours that one student dances. End-of-year recital Tickets will be available at the Studio for families to purchase and to sell to friends/relatives one month prior to recital date.

Volunteers are always needed and appreciated for a variety of positions, including backstage crew, admissions, raffles, merchandise sales etc. Inquire with Katie or other teachers for info on being a volunteer. Volunteers get free admission to the recital they help with.
