*La Roche Academy of Dance
presents our
2020 Winter Recital:
The Nutcracker!
Tentatively Scheduled for:
Saturday, December 12th*
4:00-7:15pm
Douglas County High School - North Building
*Dancers in Level 2 and below will be released at Intermission.
*Though we are approved for DCHS,
the school is still pending District Approval to open for rentals - due to COVID regulations*
*Backup Dates at Alternate Venue:
Sunday, December 13th,
with Monday, Dec. 14th or Sunday, Dec. 6th
(if a 2nd show is added to accommodate audience size)
Tech Rehearsal for the Winter Recital
*Required for ALL dancers*
Friday, December 11th
4:00-8:00pm
(or alternate backup dates, see above)
The Tech Rehearsal will be at the Performance Venue (either DCHS or the alternate venue)
*Dancers in Level 2 and below will be released earlier.
Please see Tech Rehearsal Schedule for details, once available.
*Recital Tickets*
Tickets will Not be available to the public, as we will have a very limited audience size.
We will have a Recital Payment for each dancer, instead of purchasing traditional Tickets.
This will ensure that each dancer can have their audience member/s, without tickets "selling out".
Our hope is to be able to have 2 audience members per dance family.
(Depending on the COVID regulations at that time )
The dancers' Recital Payment cost will be determined by the overall price of the venue rental,
so is still pending.
More Information will be available as details are finalized.
