Ticket Sales

Tickets are going on sale on April 1st online only.
Visit afdance.com and follow the ticket sale prompts.

As in the past, there will be a five ticket maximum until all families have a chance at tickets and then we will give out the remainder.

Reminder: Our families have made it clear that they prefer a more local, convenient location. That being said our options locally are limited to much smaller theaters. The trade-off to being at a small theater is that each family is limited to the number of tickets they can have. In addition some families with multiple children or dancers taking multiple classes may have to attend more than one show.

Thank you in advance for your understanding and cooperation. It's going to be an amazing show. The kids are working so hard and will make you proud.
