RECITAL RULES AND PROCEDURES
With the recitals just around the corner, we wanted to take a minute to review the rules. These rules go for both the recitals and the dress rehearsals. Please take time to review these with each of your dancers. We also ask for the parents’ cooperation in adhering to the rules. This will help us keep your children safe, as well as having an enjoyable and successful recital.
Ticket Sales – HOW TO PURCHASE YOUR RECITAL TICKETS
Tickets will then be on sale at the studio during dance studio hours until they are sold out. Tickets are $16.00. Because the auditorium is small, all seats are very good.
