Recital info...

Recital Packet
Our Winter Recital is in December
Our Spring Recital is in June

Our recitals are held at Mt. Hood Community College


Recitals are not required, but they are strongly recommended as it is a celebration of your dancer's hard work throughout the year!  There are additional fees associated with recitals; these fees include Costume fees, Participation fees, and Ticket sales to attend the shows. Information is provided to families in Recital Packets handed out to students, and in emails sent out to families.

Here is some information regarding how your dancer's hair needs to be according to their class(es), and what other items they need, like shoes and tights.

Please note that we strongly recommend nude-colored undergarments. This helps with costume changes, especially for those fast changes during the show itself! And although we do have separate dressing rooms for males & females, we want to keep everyone comfortable. Also, if your dancer has a costume that is a dress or skirt, we recommend some black spandex shorts to go under their dress. Please ask your dancer about their costume or check in with studio staff!
