OCT 15: RECITAL DEPOSITS PROCESSED
A big part of dance training includes learning through performance! Our End-of-Year Recital on May 30, 2026 offers our students a professionally directed performance that allows them to present to their families and friends the results of a year’s hard work, dedication, and progress. The Parent Guide includes all performance details.
When starting class this season, you should have submitted the waiver that included details about our June Recital. All students are automatically enrolled in participation of the year end recital and/or the Tumbling Exhibition (May 15 & 16). The automatic performance deposit of $75 for dancers or $55 for tumblers only will process on Oct 15. The remainder of the performance package will be processed in 7 installments with tuition from November-May.
If you have not submitted your form, you can do that here: https://app.hellosign.com/s/EaSf2821
If you need to review the information, the Parent Guide includes all performance details.

This month we are focusing on: running, rolling our wrists, heel digs, grand battement, scared face, doughnuts and our scary faces!
