1.What time/place is the recital?

     Our recital is tentatively being held on June 5th at Johnson County Community College at Yardley Hall.  There are two shows this year. 2:00pm and 7:00pm—The listing of which class is in which show will be available at the front desk on or before January 31st.

2. Can we leave when my dancer is finished with his/her dance?

     Although your dancer may be finished performing, there are others that still have not performed. Just as you would not want your dancer to have an empty theater if (s)he were performing near the end of the show, others feel the same way. Please offer all performers the same common courtesy you would expect for your performer. If you must leave early, you will need to tell us this in advance and pick your child up from the dressing area with your backstage pass. NO CHILDREN MAY BE PICKED UP FROM THE BALCONY. THIS IS FOR SAFETY REASONS.

3. When can I get my tickets and how much are they?

     Two recital tickets were included in your recital fee, but additional tickets may also be purchased through our website on or before April 2nd. Additional tickets may be purchased after April 6th by contacting JCCC directly at 913-469-8500. Tickets are $14.86 each plus tax for a total of $16. If you purchase them on or before April 2nd, you can pick them up at the front desk of your studio location on April 26-29th from 5-8pm each evening.

4. Does my dancer have to wear makeup?

     Make up is strongly suggested for ALL dancers. The lights that illuminate the stage are VERY bright and without makeup, dancer faces look washed out and won’t appear as clearly on the DVD. So, although we don’t require it, you will be much happier watching the video afterwards if you can see your child’s face clearly.

5. What time does my performer need to be there for Dress Rehearsal—and what if I can’t make it? Dress Rehearsal will be posted here. DRESS REHEARSAL IS A REQUIREMENT TO PARTICIPATE IN THE SHOW!

6. Flowers—There will be order forms on the front desk at both studios for flower bouquets. These sales are a fundraiser for the competitive dance teams. These should be available on or before April 16th.

7. What time do I need to bring my child to the show?

     All dancers should arrive at the theater 30 minutes prior to the start of the show. They should wear their costume with a cover up (this is preferable) or change when they arrive. Please put your make up on prior to arrival. Here is a link to a slideshow of the process.

8. Can I videotape the show?

     No, we do not allow videotape, as this is distracting to the people behind the person with the camera. However, all families will receive a complimentary copy of the Recital video by a professional video company.

9. Program Ads—Deadline is May 8th at 9pm. Here is a link to order.

10. I didn’t sign up yet, is it too late? The deadline is December 18th for recital. It takes a great deal of time to get all the costumes in and that is why the cutoff is so early. After this date, we can add a dancer only if someone else has had to cancel. 

11. Stage Moms—do you need/want backstage help? Yes!!!! We are always in need of folks to help supervise the dancers while they are not on stage performing. Those who offer to be stage moms in the balcony will not need a ticket to sit with the students there. Those who offer to be a BACKSTAGE mom will get an additional FREE ticket to watch another show! If you would like to volunteer, please send an email to tonya@academyarts.net

12. Cost—How much does it cost? Here is a link to our fees page.
