Where to Find the Information You Will Need:

Watch with pride, as your children grace the stage and show off the skills they have learned all year. Our annual recital will be held on a weekend in May at Swarthmore College. For your convenience, we have included quite a bit of recital information here on our web site. You can check the details for Costume Distribution Week, the Dress Rehearsal, and Recital Day to ensure everyone's day goes smoothly. The Recital Info Chart is the place to find details for each of our classes, including the required shoes and tights and which recital each class will perform in. We also have detailed information about Recital Volunteers, Costume Alterations, Costume Care, Tights, Shoes, Costume Changes, Hair and Make-up, Photos/Videos, Tickets, and the Finale. New information will be posted as soon as it is available.

Don't forget to print out a map to the theater! The show is at the Pearson Hall Theater in the Lang Performing Arts Center at Swarthmore College. Here is a map in .pdf format (easiest for most people to print), in .doc format, and in .jpg format. Allow enough time to find parking and to walk to the theater.

After the Recital, don't forget to check out our Summer Dance opportunities, and consider auditioning for our performing group or our next Holiday Show!

A change from past years...

We now hold five recitals, with different classes performing in each show. Check the Recital Info Chart to see which one(s) your student is performing in. We are now having one show Friday, two shows on Saturday, and two shows on Sunday. We have had to make these changes because Swarthmore now has exams scheduled for Saturday morning and early afternoon. We have noted on the class schedule which show or shows each class is in.

Any Questions?

Please don't hesitate to contact the studio if you have any questions. Please call us early! Any problems or questions you have concerning the Recital that can be worked out in advance greatly helps us in having a show that runs smoothly. Please do not wait until the dress rehearsal and performance to contact us; we are not at the studio on these days and will not get your phone message.

The recital is an exciting time for the students. If you have any questions about the performance, dates, costumes, or whatever, please call us; we are there for you.
