Picture Week
Picture week (May 16th-21st) is when all of the students participating in Recital take pictures as groups and individuals. If you are not in Recital, you may take individual pictures in your class attire if you wish. Purchasing or participating in pictures is optional and not mandatory. We will NOT be having normal dance classes during picture week but will hold fitness classes. Picture week schedule will not be exactly the same as your normal class schedule. Please confirm your child’s picture time and day as we WILL NOT HOLD/RETAKE PICTURES IF YOUR CHILD IS NOT PRESENT. Pictures will be taken in Studio B and costume changes will take place in Studio A. THE SCHEDULE IS POSTED IN THE WAITING ROOM AND WAS EMAILED OUT. We will also email out a more detailed schedule with students’ names. Here are the new guidelines for Picture week this year:
- Arrive in your costume for your first picture
- Leave in your costume for your last picture
- Only change in Studio A when absolutely necessary
- Only have ONE parent or guardian per student to help change if absolutely necessary
- No siblings or extra family members will be permitted in the studio
- No one is allowed in Studio B besides scheduled dancers being photographed and staff
- Please arrive no more than 5 minutes before your first scheduled picture time with costume and full stage hair and make up (more details to follow)
- Please leave as soon as your last picture has been taken
- Picture sales are CASH ONLY– The photographer will not have the ability to accept checks or cards in our facility.

Recital Ticket Sales
We will be selling tickets for the Recital on Sunday 6/5 @8:00AM. YOUR ACCOUNT MUST BE PAID IN FULL INCLUDING JUNE TUITION BEFORE YOU CAN BUY TICKETS.
Tickets
- There is no mother’s section again this year due to limited seating availability.
- Recital Ticket sales are from 8:00AM-10:00AM at the studio on Sunday, June 5th. YOUR ACCOUNT MUST BE PAID IN FULL, INCLUDING JUNE TUITION, IN ORDER TO BUY TICKETS.
- CASH/CREDIT CARD ONLY SALE (no checks will be accepted)
- From 8:00AM-10:00AM you will be guaranteed SIX TOTAL Recital tickets (NOT SIX PER SHOW)! If you do not come during this block you will forfeit your tickets and they will be sold as extras come 10:00AM.
- You may send a representative for you to purchase tickets if you are unable to come, as long as your account is paid in full.
- Tickets are assigned seating (different from last year) and ARE PER SHOW. An afternoon ticket cannot be used for the evening show and vice versa.
- Once 10:00 AM rolls around, there will be a separate line for additional ticket purchases. You may purchase additional tickets at this time. We will stay until noon or until all tickets have sold out.
- There will be two separate lines, one for the 8:00 AM sale and one for the 10:00 AM sale. Please do not hold spots for people. Should this be an issue, both parties will be sent to the back of the line.
- If you are a mother and do not want to purchase a ticket since you will be able to watch the live feed in the back, you will be allowed to come in FOR AWARDS ONLY, STANDING ROOM ONLY at the end of the second show. You must have your parent pass on (will be distributed at rehearsal).
Finale Rehearsals
We will hold Finale rehearsals on Friday. There are two separate Finales this year, Finale 1 and Finale 2. See schedule below for your designated rehearsal time.
