ELIGIBILITY

All students in Little Dancer level through Teen levels who are registered in classes for the School Year. Move with Me & Dancing Tots will have a studio parent observation class.


Commitment:
Participation in DAV's 2026 Annual Spring Recital is automatic!
Each class performs a dance in the recital with unique music, costume & choreography.


Tips for Success:
Be sure to attend weekly classes to learn/prepare recital choreography.
Limit class switches & makeups. Each class has its own unique costume and choreography.
Switching classes will result in the need to purchase an additional costume.

All performances will be filmed and available to download free for our families to share with their loved ones.


Students are supervised during performance and dismissed to parent/guardian after performance at designated pick up location.


We highly encourage students and families to stay for the entire performance. Youth Program shows will have a group bow at the end.


​

Costumes:

  • Students will be measured in November & Costumes will be ordered in December.

  • When costumes arrive, staff will fit the dancers for the costumes and send them home.

  • Parents will be required to sign the costumes out the day it is distributed to your dancer.

  • Parents will be responsible for storing costume & headpiece until performance day.

  • If your dancer switches classes after costumes have been ordered you will be required to purchase a new costume as all classes have unique costumes this year.
