Recital Tights!


Click here for Recital Tights 2016
   
Click here for Ballet


We have a full stock of recital tights available to purchase at the front desk. Remember... Dancers need to have the correct tights by Picture Day.  It's always a good idea to buy an extra pair, just in case...plus they can wear them for class later.  If you have questions about your class tights, please feel free to ask their teacher. 
Recital Info- 
 
This year our Studio recital theme is "Billboard's Greatest Hits" and our Ballet performance theme is "Kaleidoscope".
I will be emailing Recital Packets in a few weeks.  This packet will include rehearsal schedules, ticket order form, show times, room mom volunteer and more.
