ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
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 have 2 audience members per dance family.
(This is currently the plan, unless COVID regulations change.)
Dancers in both performances will have their audience members at 1 show or the other, not both.
The dancers' Recital Payment cost will be determined by the overall price of the venue rental,
so is still pending. This cost will be posted to each dancer's online account with December Tuition.
*As the performances are being filmed for the Recital Video, we also plan to live stream the performances through Zoom! So this will be available for those unable to attend in person.
Recital Video:
$30/Dancer... Pending updated pricing.
This fee will be posted to each dancer's online account with December Tuition,
and is charged to ALL dancers in the recital.
A link for the Recital Video will then be sent out to all dancers once completed, to be downloaded from Google drive. You are welcome to pass the link on to friends and family as well, at no extra cost!
If you would like to purchase a hard DVD copy of the video as well, they are available for an additional $25/dvd.
