Participation Guidelines

  • If your dancer cannot participate, please complete the Recital Opt-Out Form by January 14th. You must fill out the form to officially opt-out of this performance.

Scheduling Notes

  • Siblings: We do our best to place siblings in the same show, but this is not guaranteed. If we cannot accommodate, you will receive four complimentary tickets to the performance of your choice.

  • Multiple Classes: We aim to place dancers in multiple classes in the same show but cannot guarantee this.

Show Assignments:

  • When reviewing the assignments, please take extra care to locate your dancer’s class. With many classes of the same type offered this season—across various studios, times, and days—it’s important to carefully cross-reference the Class Name, Class Time, Location, and Teacher to ensure you note the correct Show Assignment.

Class Switch Deadline:

February 15th

  • After this date, no class changes will be accepted to ensure dancers are prepared to perform confidently.

FAQs

  • Yes! We love having parents volunteer as class chaperones backstage. Volunteers do not need to purchase show tickets and will get a special up-close view of their dancer’s class from the stage wings.

    Volunteer Sign-ups will be coming soon!

  • Participation in Spring Recital is strongly encouraged and considered an important part of the overall dance experience. Being part of a performance helps build self-esteem and self-confidence and gives students a chance to showcase the results of all of their hard work, dedication, and progress. It is one of our very favorite days of the year and we know that your dancer will cherish the memories made on stage with their friends!

    All dancers in Creative Movement and up are invited to perform in our annual recital.

  • Tickets will go on sale in April. They can be purchased through the Ferst Center box office.

  • For safety reasons and the best viewing experience for our audience, Neighborhood Ballet does not allow any photography or video recording at any of our shows. The recording of the performance is a distraction to the dancers and disrupts the viewing experience for those around you. The recital will be recorded by a professional videographer and a digital copy of the video is included in your recital fee.

  • For the safety of our dancers, the only parents allowed backstage are the dressing room parent volunteers. You will sign your dancer in for dress rehearsal prior to the show, and then you will see them again when the show is over.

    1. Hanging costumes in the bathroom during a shower helps to take out the wrinkles.

    2. Medical tape can be placed in inside seams to help with any itchiness.

    3. Keep costumes stored securely in their garment bag and out of reach of dancers until show day. We cannot replace damaged costumes or lost hairpieces.
