Happy Mother’s Day, Studio J Moms!
Happy Mother’s Day to all of the wonderful moms in our Studio J family! Thank you for all the love, support, encouragement, and countless ways you help your dancers shine. You truly make the world brighter every day!
Our recital shows begin tomorrow, and we are SO excited! Please be sure to read through all of the information below so you feel fully prepared for recital week.
Also, don’t forget that registration for our 2026–2027 season opens Monday, May 11th at 10:00 AM! We can’t wait to welcome everyone back for another incredible year of dance and theatre at Studio J.
Classes are officially complete for our 2025–2026 season, and what an amazing year it has been! We can’t wait to see our students back this summer for camps and classes, and again in September for a brand new school season.
Spring Recital!
Dates: May 11th-May 17th (click here for show schedule)
Location: Studio J Performing Arts Center
May 11 – 17 – Recital Week – NO CLASSES!
Recital Parking - Parking is somewhat limited, so we do ask that you carpool with those in your
party if possible. We do respectfully request that you not arrive too early, or stay after so that each show's participants have room to park. Please only park at the studio and not at any of the surrounding businesses. For our weekend recitals, please only park at the studio and Christian Karate Academy. You may park out front, on the east side, and along the curb behind the building.
Recital Hair/Makeup - Hair should be pulled back out of the dancer's face (ex. ponytail, bun, half pulled back, etc.) Hair accessories should be worn the same they were for picture week. Make up is the parent's choice, although we do recommend a little cheek/lip color as the stage lighting can make performers appear washed out.
Recital Video - We are so excited to have III Oaks Video capturing a professional recording of all recital shows. Digital downloads of each show will be emailed out the week after recitals conclude.
Recital Tips:
Be sure your child's name is on all of their belongings! Place your child's dance shoes in a plastic zip bag with their name on it and transport extra costumes in the labeled garment bag we provided- no need to send in dance bags or other personal items.
Dancers should arrive fully dressed (except for shoes) and ready to go. There is a post in your class band with the actual show order so you know which costume to wear first if your child is in multiple classes.
Dancers in more than one class should layer their tights for easy costume changes.
Be sure your child has used the restroom before dropping them off in their dressing room.
Doors will open 10 mins prior to showtime. EVERYONE MUST HAVE THE CORRECT WRISTBAND ON OR DIGITAL TICKET TO ENTER. Lap children do not need a wristband. Each dancer will be receiving a gift bag that will be placed outside to pick up before the doors open and parents should hang on to it until after the show (The programs will be inside your bag). Dancers will be directed to dressing rooms; guests will go to the auditorium. We still have a few extra tickets left to purchase. Click Here
All dancers will remain backstage and in dressing rooms through the entire show. Please do not pick up your dancer early. If you do, you will be asked to exit the building. No parents are allowed in the dressing rooms due to the safety of all our dancers.
Each show is expected to last only 30-45 mins. Following the show, please send one parent to pick up your child and belongings from the dressing room. Students age 3-11 (Twinkle Toes thru Intermediate classes) will not be permitted to leave the dressing room alone. Older students may come out to meet you after the show.
It is perfectly appropriate and encouraged to cheer on the dancers before, during, and after their performances!!!
May: Tuition - All accounts must be current for dancers to perform in the spring recital.
