Recital
Recital is a fun annual tradition for dancers to show off their hard work for friends and family in costumes under the stage lights. All dancers are eligible to participate in the recital.
Each class will have one costume for the recital. If dancers take multiple classes, they will have multiple costumes.
Costumes will be posted in the online portal. Measurements will be taken in class, and costumes will be ordered in October. Costumes must be paid in full before they can be ordered and this fee cannot be refunded. The costume fee will include the costume, accessories, and recital tights. Poms will be ordered separately for those classes.
There is a $150 non-refundable recital fee, (plus $25 for each additional dancer in the family) which covers the cost of the theater and theater staff.

Recital performances will be on Friday, May 30th and Saturday, May 31st, 2025. Shows are typically Friday at 7pm and Saturday at 10am, 2pm, and 6pm. Exact schedules will be given out later in the year.
Dancers will be backstage the entire show. Please send water with a closed lid. No snacks or food are allowed backstage. Parent volunteers along with BDS staff members and alumni will be supervising dancers backstage. For the safety of our dancers, only recital helpers will be allowed backstage.

VIP Dance
This is one of the most anticipated traditions in our studio. Some of our parents have been dancing just as long as their children, 10 years or more! There are weekend rehearsals in April and May to learn and practice the routine before hitting the stage. This is a great time to create special memories and connect with your children in a fun, heart-warming way.
The VIP Dance is under the direction of Mrs. B. There is a $30 participation fee per family. Parents will be given a specific color outfit to wear while the students are encouraged to wear dress up attire.
