May 10th recital fee is due
the recital fee is $35 per dancer. I don’t charge tickets to get into the recital. I just charge a fee to participate. This way you can invite whomever you would like to watch your dancer. We had our biggest turn out at our 2022 Christmas recital. We were in the ballpark of 500 people. Bring your friends & family to support your dancers. It’s truly magical!
May 26th – Tech Rehearsal
is held at Leading Edge Academy located at 18700 N Porter Rd. Maricopa, AZ 85138 On Friday night it is regular dance wear no costumes. We will be practicing from 5-7pm. Once your dancer is finished you are free to leave. I will have a show line up for you in May.
May 27th – Pictures, dress rehearsal & recital This
is the day we are working towards. We will be doing pictures the morning of the recital at Leading Edge Academy. I will have a picture schedule for you in May. We will take pictures & then move to practice on stage in costume 1 dance at a time. Then we will have a break for lunch & come back for the recital. It’s a busy day but it is well planned. I will have a full breakdown of the day for you closer to the recital.
