Recital Checkpoints

To better help the studio function from both an administrative standpoint, and to keep the staff on the same page — please follow the general outline of deadlines and checkpoints for recital. This progression and timing is very important for the kids to be able to perform confidently and successfully. We’re not teaching adults, and many kids only dance with you one per week — timing matters!

NOTE: Recital classes and performance teams have separate timelines. Make sure you are on track with the correct timeline.
