Our goal is to keep your child focused so that they can maximize their class experience and continue to progress effectively throughout the year. Observation weeks provide the opportunity for parents to observe the growth of the dancers, and to experience the class from the "inside". Specific dates and additional information regarding Parent Observation week will be distributed at the beginning of each dance year. |
| RECITAL
Dance Sun Country will have its annual recital at the end of each dance year. Participation in the recital not only helps to build self-confidence, but also develops theatrical presence, expressiveness, style and teamwork, which are essential to the performing arts. Although performing in the recital is not mandatory, we do encourage all of our students to share in this rewarding experience. It is a wonderful way for students to showcase the results of their hard work and for family and friends to join in their pride of achievement. Recital costs include a
charge per costume, as well as a recital fee per student. Details regarding dates, fees, etc. are distributed in October.
For more information on the current recital please view our Dance Recital Page. |
