ANNUAL JUNE RECITAL FOR Dance To EvOLvE SAN DIEGO

 

THE BENEFITS OF Dance To EvOLvE's RECITAL

  • Participating in our recital is encouraged but not required
  • No recital fee (no mandatory recital package to participate)
  • EvOLvE provides free class and performance pictures to all families
  • Volunteer opportunities in exchange for benefits such as free tickets and t-shirts
  • Affordable costume fee (includes costume, tights and accessories)
  • Optional and affordable vendors
  • Free reception after the show
  • Plenty of free parking
  • Recital preparation starts in late spring as to not distract from non-recital dancers and regular weekly lessons
  • To make recital convenient for everyone, dress rehearsals are scheduled directly before the actual show (It's a one stop shop for parents.)
  • We hold 3-4 mini-shows (approximately 1 hour each) compared to one very long show
  • Age appropriate movement and costumes
  • Dance To EvOLvE believes in providing students with a non-intimidating environment for a memorable experience (no hot or scary lights and no distracting effects)

THE BENEFITS OF PERFORMANCE

  • The recital is a fun experience that creates lifetime memories
  • The recital allows dancers to fully experience a performing art and the unique feeling of being on stage
  • Preparing for a recital is a way for dancers to work on memorization skills, rhythm, technique, teamwork, and much more...and they LOVE having something to be proud of
  • It gives dancers the opportunity to perform in front of an audience that will boost self-confidence in everything they do
  • Family and friends get to see what their dancers have learned in dance class
    •

RECITAL REQUIREMENTS/ POLICIES:

  • Participating dancers must be registered in a class for the spring semester.  (We encourage students to register earlier in the year as to fully benefit from the class.)
  • Recital is a commitment for everyone involved (dancers, parents, volunteers, teachers, etc).  Exceptions cannot be made and we encourage you to note deadlines to avoid late fees.  
  • The dress rehearsal is required for all participating dancers.
  • Any student who misses three or more classes during recital season will be evaluated for their readiness to participate in the recital since rehearsal is during regular class time.
  • All dancers who are 3 years or older are welcome to participate in the recital.  (Mommy or Daddy & Me and Magical Munchkin dancers are just too young.)
  • Photography and videography during any show is not allowed in the interest of the dancers' safety and enjoyment of all audience members.  We will have volunteer photographers at all the shows that will provide free pictures and professional DVD's will be for sale for $22. There will also be a photo area for pictures after the show.
  • Tickets are non-refundable. Seating is first come first served. (No saving of seats to be fair to everyone.)
