Year End Recital
The opportunity to perform in a recital is an exciting, empowering and confidence building part of the training process. This is where we love to watch our students of all ages and abilities learn about the theatre, rehearsals and teamwork while they enjoy the opportunity to showcase their skills in a professionally run production. Recitals are a wonderful way for students to showcase the results of their hard work and for family and friends to join in the pride of their achievement. We love giving all students the chance to perform for their family and friends in this supportive and fun environment and encourage even our youngest and newest performers to be involved.
If you have an unavoidable conflict with our recital dates and your child will not be participating, please notify our office as soon as possible so your teacher can plan accordingly.
We will split our school into five separate casts:
Early Years – All Kinder Ballet & Kinder Combo classes and a few special guest performers.
Purple Cast – 33% of our 5-17 year old classes
Green Cast – 33% of our 5-17 year old classes.
Yellow Cast – 34% of our 5-17 year old classes.
Aerial – All Aerial Hoop and Trapeze classes.
We work hard on dividing our 650+ students into separate casts to keep performance run times under 2 hours, if possible, as well as to maximize ticket availability for parents. Please know that it can sometimes be impossible to cast siblings in the same show, or to keep dancers in only one show if they are in multiple dance classes.
We spend a large chunk of time creating our casts. We triple check all the conflicts to minimize them as much as possible. If your child is in multiple casts, or siblings are in different shows, we can assure you that we did everything possible to avoid this.
Our Aerial Hoop Recital recital will be held at Squamish Dance Centre on May 23rd.
Our Early Years dancers Recital will be held at Ecole Squamish Elementary School on May 24th.
Our Purple, Green and Yellow will take place at Howe Sound Secondary School with Rehearsals on May 30th and Recitals on May 31st.
Our Recital Handbook is released February 1st, release date subject to change. It includes absolutely EVERYTHING you need to know about our recital preparations and events. We ask that you stay tuned for the release of our Recital Handbook, which we’re sure will answer all of your burning questions.
