We are excited to present this Tap Performance, “Going Hollywood”, as our end-of-year Tap production! Your student will not want to miss out on the opportunity to perform with their class, while showing off what they have learned this past year.
Students will perform with their class and will learn their dances within their class time. They will have a couple combined group dances, and will need to meet for a few Fridays after regular class time, mentioned above, to be able to come together to learn and clean these pieces.
Recital is a very important time for our students as they’re able to exhibit onstage the progress they’ve made throughout the year. We know that they have worked hard and we are so proud to be able to allow them the opportunity to perform. We take very seriously our responsibility to prepare them well, so that they are confident in their steps onstage. We appreciate your cooperation in encouraging your students to participate and enabling them to feel their best for their performance by getting them to class and rehearsals prepared to do their best.
CASTING
Each Tap level will have their own routine, as well as a couple combined group routines. We will post casting in February.
ADDITIONAL REHEARSALS
Additional Friday rehearsals for “Going Hollywood” are MANDATORY. This means that your child may NOT miss Friday rehearsals if they wish to perform. Tech rehearsal and Dress rehearsal is our other additional and mandatory rehearsal. Students who miss Dress Rehearsal will not be permitted to perform!
If you have any questions regarding a known Friday absence, please email the office at classes@radianceballet.com for approval before 1/31.
***PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT YOU LOOK CAREFULLY AT THE ADDITIONAL FRIDAY REHEARSALS, TECH, AND DRESS REHEARSAL DATES AND TIMES. IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO MAKE THESE REHEARSALS, PLEASE LET US KNOW THAT YOU WILL BE UNABLE TO PERFORM. YOU WILL NOT BE EXCUSED ONCE YOU’VE COMMITTED TO PARTICIPATE.
FEES
Recital fee is $125/student for your first class and $65/additional class. Each class has its own dance, as well as group routines combining all the Tap levels.
Your recital fee covers your child’s participation fee, extra rehearsals and their costume. Our costumes are on a “rental” system due to the inflation of costume prices. In order to avoid a continued increase in participation cost, we will begin recycling the costumes for our students throughout the years.
VOLUNTEERING
We do very much appreciate and need help from you, parents/family! We had some great help this past Christmas performance, but are always in need of even more help for each new session and performance! We are opting to present an incentive for your volunteering, where if you volunteer for 1 area of need, you will receive a $15 discount on your participation fee, and if you volunteer for 2 areas of need, you will receive a $30 discount on your participation fee. The maximum discount is $30, even though you are more than welcome to volunteer more than 2 times.
We have many areas of need, and will be posting a sign-up sheet in the next few weeks, in the studio, so that you may sign-up. Once the volunteering area has been fulfilled, we will credit your account the appropriate amount.
Some areas include, but not limited to:
Promoting the studio and/or performances and events
Helping with Releve Soiree Event
St. Patrick’s Day Parade banner holder
Costuming - mending/steaming/adding embelishments
Rehearsals
keeping students quiet and focused during Saturday Full Cast rehearsals

AUTO ENROLLMENT
With an understanding that most of our students do choose to participate in recital and in an effort to streamline the sign-up process, every student, except for our Adult Ballet program, is automatically signed up to participate in recital.
Your recital fee will be charged to your card on file on February 1, 2024.
RECITAL PARTICIPATION FEES ARE NON-REFUNDABLE.
In the event that you must withdraw from recital after 1/31, you will not receive a refund in whole or in part.
WITHDRAWING FROM RECITAL
If you decide that your student will not be participating in recital, you must let the office know by email (classes@radianceballet.com) by January 31st. Failure to decline participation before January 31st will result in your card being charged for your participation fee. If no communication is received, Radiance will understand that you are giving authorization to charge your participation fee to your card on file.
Participation in all classes is highly recommended. Should your student wish to participate in only certain classes that they attend, this must also be communicated to the office by 1/31. Failure to do so will result in them being included in all of their class dances.
