Yes, we have a Recital in the Spring at Spring Lake Park High School. Most classes perform 2 routines that require 2 costumes. Costumes price is provided 'up front' - included - costume, tights, headpiece, wristbands, shoe bows or whatever trim needed.

Do I have to buy dance shoes from you?
At the Dance Recital we want all the shoes to match and we have them in stock. If you have other ballet,tap or jazz shoes to begin classes, that is ok. But for the show, we require all shoes be uniform. For the younger dancers the ballet and tap shoes they wear for dance class are their performance shoes. For older dancers jazz shoes may also be required.

Can parents watch dance classes?
It is difficult to focus on learning when there is a lot of activity in the classroom. Therefore, we have glass doors for parents to observe. We also offer opportunities for family viewing throughout the year (Refer to Newlsetter or FYI handbook). Parents are always Welcome the 1st week. If thoughout the year you have visiting relatives or other out of town guests, ask dance instructors permission to have a special 'watch week'.

What if my dance class isn't right for me?
We offer a variety of dance classes with a variety of teachers. We want happy dancers and parents. Please talk to the director regarding dance class options. Classes may be transferred through October.
