*Students are not required to participate in the annual recital, but it is recommended.
The order in which you sign up for recital is the order in which tickets will be assigned. You may sign up for recital as early as the recital day in June. The last date to sign up for recital is December 15th. Please note that there is NO REFUND for recital once costumes are ordered in December. If the studio is unable to secure a regular recital venue due to COVID-19 or other pandemic or natural disaster, an alternate option will be chosen. This will be based on providing the best possible performance venue that takes into consideration current safety restrictions as well as customer feedback. This could mean an alternate date and/or an outdoor performance on a rented stage, or a class by class in-studio recorded recital, or in the most strict situation, a zoomed recording. Recital is a very important milestone in the year and it is our priority to provide a positive memorable and safe experience. Just like our show in 2020, we will not let our students down!
