Recital is a special performance at the end of our season where dancers get to shine on stage and celebrate everything they’ve learned all year long. It’s an exciting opportunity for them to build confidence, perform for family and friends, and showcase their growth, hard work, and love of dance in a fun, supportive environment.
We will need approximately 10 volunteers for each show. Please see Ms. Sierra if you are interested in volunteering!
Please email the studio at AStepAboveDS96@gmail.com with any questions related to our Recital Rally, Dress Rehearsal, or Recital
“I just wanted to congratulate you on a fantastic recital last evening. This is our first year at ASA and coming from another studio, this was the best dance recital we have ever been to! I just love how everyone is so friendly. Also, I am envious of the relationship you have with your staff and students! You are truly dedicated to your job! Thanks for a great year!”
