2026 Recital Costs

Associated Performance Costs:

Recital Costumes: We require dancers to purchase one dance costume for each class. The only class exception is our Tap/Ballet Combo classes - they will have two costumes. During the month of November, we require a $50 costume deposit to secure their costume for recital. The remaining balance of the costume deposit is due in January when we return from our holiday break.

If you pay your initial costume deposit, you are required to pay the full remaining costume balance – we cannot make any exceptions. We strive to keep costume prices as low as possible for each dancer. In general the costume totals are between $80-$125 per costume.

Recital Tickets:
Recital tickets will go on sale on Friday, April 24. Each family member and/or audience member must purchase a ticket to view the performance. After that date, recital tickets will remain on sale until the performance dates. We use an online recital ticketing service for our recital tickets. Families will be able to purchase their recital tickets directly from their phones, laptops and tablets. More information about recital tickets will be sent out closer to that date.  

Recital Package/Fee:
We require any dancer participating in our recital to pay a one-time $150 recital package fee per dancer or $200 for multiple dancers (families). This fee will be posted in March of 2026 and must be paid with March tuition.

As a reminder, with this fee all dancers receive:

• A digital download of ALL of the recital performances from the weekend.

• One (1) recital t-shirt. Each year we design a unique t-shirt that is themed for our recital performance with all the dancers names on the back. Family pricing will receive one shirt, per dancer.

• Recital Tights: Tights are very much a part of your dancers costume, and in years past, they have been a separate item that dancers/parents need to purchase. As a part of this package we will include them to simplify our recital costuming. Most dancers will receive our Body Tghts. If your dancer takes a ballet class they will also receive pink tights. Our Tutu & Tumble Preschool classes will receive pink tights only. 

• Recital Program Book: All dancers will receive one (1) recital program book that will feature photos/memories from the year, the run order of the show and any student/dancer shout-outs - see below.

  • Parents will have the opportunity to place a student/dancer shoutout within the new program for an additional cost

  • More information will come out about this in January, 2026

• This also includes our recital rehearsal fee. This covers the cost our on-stage dress rehearsal/performance and helps to keep our recital ticket prices from increasing substantially.
