Kid's Dance Recital
The Benefits Of Performance
- The dance recital is a fun experience that creates lifetime memories
- The dance recital allows dancers to fully experience a performing art and the unique feeling of being on stage
- Preparing for a dance recital is a way for dancers to work on memorization skills, rhythm, technique, teamwork, and much more...and they LOVE having something to be proud of
- It gives dancers the opportunity to perform in front of an audience that will boost self-confidence in everything they do
- Family and friends in Chicago get to see what their dancers have learned in dance class
The Benefits of Dance To EvOLvE's Annual Recital
- No dance recital participation fee, only a costume fee (no mandatory recital package to participate). All dancers are automatically enrolled in the recital and will be charged for costume on April 1st. If you are unable to participate in the recital, please opt-out with your signature on the costume sizing chart in class with your teacher.
- Affordable costume fee (includes costume, tights and accessories)
- EvOLvE provides free dance class and performance pictures to all families
- Volunteer opportunities in exchange for benefits such as free tickets
- Dance recital preparation starts in spring as to not distract from non-recital dancers and regular weekly lessons
- Dress Rehearsal is the night before recital to prep the dancers for the show the next day.
- Age appropriate movement and costumes
- Dance To EvOLvE believes in providing students with a non-intimidating environment for a memorable experience (no distracting light effects)
Dance Recital Requirements/ Policies
- Participating dancers must be registered in a dance class for kids in Chicago from March-June. (We encourage students to register earlier in the year as to fully benefit from the class.)
- Dance recital is a commitment for everyone involved (dancers, parents, volunteers, teachers, etc). Exceptions cannot be made and we encourage you to note deadlines to avoid late fees.
- The dress rehearsal is required for all participating dancers.
- Any student who misses three or more classes during dance recital season will be evaluated for their readiness to participate in the dance recital since rehearsal is during regular class time.
- Photography and videography will be allowed during the dance recital. Please be respectful of all people around you. No flash photography.
- Seating is first come first served. (No saving of seats to be fair to everyone.)
Enrollment Spring Classes
While recital is highly encouraged, not all of our dancers are able to participate in recital, therefore it is not required. The spring classes do spend a little more time working on choreography for recital, but the class is still structured and highly beneficial to all dancers in the class.
All dancers wanting to participate in the recital must be registered for the full spring semester.
The Fun Of Practicing At Home
HAVE FUN PRACTICING WITH YOUR DANCER AT HOME!
Teachers will create online videos so dancers can have fun at home practice their dance and build that extra confidence.
Parent's Corner
"Joy walks around singing the song she learned in dance class and it’s adorable! Thank you for bringing so much happiness to all of us! This is Joy's first dance class and she is hooked."
"Miss B, you are just the best teacher. I feel like I have found Juilliard for my 4-year old. 🙂 I am telling all my friends as EvOLvE is the best program."
"I went for our first class and the teacher was amazing. Excellent! She is the best teacher I have ever seen. She did great with the kids, my girls wanted to take the class again as soon as it ended...they were disappointed to learn they would have to wait a week."
My daughter is constantly playing 'I'm Ms. Laura and you're taking my dance class.' She uses all the terms she has learned– passé, arabesque, heel-toe, etc. and leads her little sister, her dad and myself in a class, helping us out if we are doing a move incorrectly. She even gives us a sticker on our hand and a hug when 'class' is over. 🙂
