Spring Recital:
Techniques In Motion School of Dance emphasizes a regimen of technical and artistic instruction. Students have the opportunity to demonstrate their instruction with performances in the annual spring recital. Our Spring Recital is the "Highlight" of the dance year! The students train very hard all year for this performance.
Recital Handbooks & Detailed Information (Recital Photography Schedule, costume & Hair Requirements, Video Orders, Tickets, etc) will be distributed with recital costumes Approx April -May. Exact dates and additional information will be provided in our monthly newsletter and on studio website. Recital Programs are written in April and we do our best to accommodate everyone's needs and schedules. We make every effort possible to keep family members in the same program but we cannot guarantee it. When writing the rehearsal & recital programs many issues must be considered: the amount of dancers & relatives enrolled in the school, the number of classes & routines they may be involved in, keeping the length of the shows at an enjoyable amount of time for all, making sure all events regarding rehearsal & recital are organized and clearly understood by all involved...plus other situations that may arise. Your patience & understanding is greatly appreciated.
NEW!! If dancer is enrolled in classes that are of different levels or ages they will be performing in more than one recital program. Sibling dancers may not be in same recital program.
