End of Year Recital
Last year our end of the recital was:
The Wizard of Oz!
One of the things that sets Parker Dance apart from other dance studios is the way we put together our end of the year performance. These performances encompass a broad range of dance styles and levels within the framework of theatre. We use storytelling, backdrops, acting and costumes combined with carefully selected music to create a classic story, brought to life with dance as the primary component. This not only makes for an entertaining show, but also joins each class and student together to create a complete story. Instead of just being a separate group with no relationship to other groups classes and students become an important part of the studio and the success of the performance. We believe this makes for the most positive and exciting performing experience possible.
We also believe that this makes our shows much more entertaining for the audience. Instead of watching a parade of unrelated dances, audience members get caught up in the story, the humor that we throw in, the plot line as it unravels, and the momentum of a theatrical show. Our audience leaves with the feeling that they have truly been entertained. We strive to that end, and our dancers become part of that passion. This unites our studio, our teachers, classes, dancers, and parents, so that in the end we can all share and enjoy the experience together. Beautiful backdrops, costumes, and choreography will support the tremendous talent that will be featured. Come join us for a magical night sure to entertain!
We order beautiful, professional looking costumes from a catalog for the dancers to wear in the June performance. These costumes must be chosen by the teachers in October, measurements taken by teachers and parents during measuring week, and ordered in late December/early January. Therefore, costume deposits are due by November. You can expect to pay $70-$100 per costume. Each class will order one costume. So, if you are in a ballet/tap combo class, you will order a ballet costume, and rent the tap costume from us for $25. If you are in a ballet only class, a tap class, and a jazz class, you will order three separate costumes. Costume deposits are non-refundable.
