2025 Dress Rehearsal & Picture Day
Saturday, May 10, 2025
Dress Rehearsal & Picture Day are the same day and the same location
Groton-Dunstable Performing Arts Center | 344 Main Street, Groton, MA
Dress Rehearsal Info:
[DATE]: All dancers that are participating in our 2025 Spring Recital will need to come to Dress Rehearsal on Saturday, May 10.
[LOCATION]: Dress rehearsal is held at the Groton-Dunstable Performing Arts Center, which is our recital performance venue [Groton-Dunstable Middle School].
[WHAT TO EXPECT]: Each class will get time on-stage with their instructor to practice each of their recital routines in their recital costume.
If your dancer is in more than one number, time will be given to change in between numbers. We have bathrooms and designated areas for dancers to change.
Dress Rehearsal and Picture Day are held at the same venue and at the same time; Dress Rehearsal is in the auditorium and our Pictures are taken in the school cafeteria
Picture Day Info: MORE TO COME!
Head to the auditorium first for your dancer’s onstage dress rehearsal. Teachers and/or our class assistants will take them backstage then it's lights, camera, action for your group photo in the cafeteria (parents will meet dancers there).
After that, dancers can take individual photos and then on to your next routine [or home if you’re done]!
Does your dancer have multiple costume changes? No sweat – we’ve got you covered! Take individual photos [sisters/dance friends] anytime & ditch the rush.
P.S. No order forms this year! Each family will get a special code to buy photos online.
What Should You Bring To Dress Rehearsal?:
Dance costumes
Tights [your new ones we’re giving you] before the recital
All your dance shoes
·Please label all items with your dancer’s name!

2025 Recital Costs
ASSOCIATED PERFORMANCE COSTS:
Recital Costumes: We require dancers to purchase one dance costume for each class. The only class exception is our Tap/Ballet Combo classes - they will have two costumes. During the month of November, we require a $50 costume deposit to secure their costume for recital. The remaining balance of the costume deposit is due in January when we return from our holiday break.
If you pay your initial costume deposit, you are required to pay the full remaining costume balance – we cannot make any exceptions. We strive to keep costume prices as low as possible for each dancer. In general the costume totals are between $80-$125 per costume.
Recital Package/Fee:
We require any dancer participating in our recital to pay a one-time $145 recital package fee per dancer or $195 for multiple dancers\siblings (families). This fee will be posted in March of 2025 and must be paid with March tuition.
As a reminder, with this fee all dancers receive:
One (1), digital download of the recital performances. All families will get access to both shows.
One (1) recital t-shirt. Each year we design a unique t-shirt that is themed for our recital performance. Family pricing will receive one shirt, per dancer.
Recital Tights: We have included this directly in the recital package to make it all inclusive. Tights are very much a part of your dancers costume - think of it as a part of your dancers recital uniform. Most dancers will receive our tan body tights. If your dancer takes a ballet class they will also receive pink tights. Our Tutu and Tumble Preschool classes will receive pink tights only.
Recital Program /Yearbook: All dancers will receive one (1) recital program book that will feature photos/memories from the year, the run order of the show and any student/dancer shout-outs - see below.
Parents will have the opportunity to place a student/dancer shoutout within the new program for an additional cost
This also includes our recital rehearsal fee. This covers the cost our on-stage dress rehearsal/performance and helps to keep our recital ticket prices from increasing substantially.
