• All students who choose to perform in the recital are assessed a mandatory $75.00 Recital Package Fee in May. This fee covers professional recital photos of each dance a student is in, access to digital copies of all shows, and a cast t-shirt. If package fee is not paid by May 7th, your student will not be able to perform in the recital. 
• A professional photo shoot is set up during the month of June at the studio to capture each class in their recital costume. The digital rights to your student's photos are provided as part of the Recital Package Fee. 

• Our venue is the Truax Theater located at El Camino High School in Oceanside. 
• Each show requires tickets to view. Seats are assigned seating.
• Recital tickets are through an online 3rd party and go on sale at the beginning of June. Tickets range from $25.00 - $30.00 per ticket (price depends on venue). 

• Mandatory Rehearsal is usually the week of the show. Rehearsal allows your student to run their routine on stage, in full costume and make-up. 
• We typically host 6-8 shows depending on the number of students performing in the recital. Shows normally take place on a Thursday - Sunday. Shows average 2.5 hours. Note: If your student is taking multiple classes, the chances are higher they will be performing across multiple shows. Also, siblings don't perform in the same show if they are in different classes.
