Spring Dance Concert! Celebration!
At Festival Dance Academy we’re preparing for our Spring Concert titled, Celebration! Recital time is a special time for your child. Each student is allowed to shine in wonderfully organized, tastefully costumed, and charmingly age appropriate dance pieces - choreographed by their instructor to bring out the best in each student!
Rehearsal Dates:
We provide recitals to give our students a complete dance education, including performance experience on a professional stage. Recitals are an important part of developing confident dancers. Each class performs a piece that is designed specifically for their age and abilities. All of our students go on stage with confidence that they have the technical ability to perform the choreography. In addition, you, the parent, will be confident that your child will be dressed in a costume and executing dance moves that are fun, tasteful, and age appropriate.
A $25 Recital Fee is due now for each student for each course. For example, if one student is enrolled in both Ballet 1 and Jazz 1 - the fee is $50. The whole Recital Fee covers expenses related to back stage management, floor moving, tech, music, digital video & audio recording, facility rental, costumes (buying, making, cleaning), a costumer, a seamstress, and lighting & theater crew. We could not provide a quality recital experience for your child without this fee. It is extremely important that you pay your fee on time to ensure you child’s participation in the recital.
If you are signed up for Automatic Checking Withdrawal, your recital fee has already been paid.
We DO NOT charge admission to the spring concert and you will not be asked to buy a costume for your dancer. The Spring Concert is free.

Trey McIntyre Dance Company
International choreographic phenomenon, Trey McIntyre gives dance a new look. Playful, creative, and unique, the company’s goal is to advance the form of contemporary ballet in innovative and groundbreaking ways. In December 2010, Trey McIntyre was named the United States Artists Wynn Fellow; the company was featured on PBS NewsHour with Jim Lehrer; and TMP was chosen by the U.S. Department of State as one of four American dance companies chosen to participate in DanceMotion USA. As part of this program Trey McIntyre Project will tour to China, South Korea, the Philippines and Vietnam in Spring 2012 serving as a U.S. Cultural Ambassador. But first, local audiences can experience this new dance sensation right here at the Beasley Coliseum!
