Recital Ticket Orders: For Recital this year we will be using a new online system to purchase and distribute tickets. Please know that there will be no physical tickets this year and all tickets (including comp tickets) will go through our online system. Below you will find more detailed information on how to purchase and access your tickets. As we are organizing tickets, we want to let you know that this the 2023 Recital will be the last time we will distribute complimentary tickets for recitals. We have many families who don’t use the tickets and the tracking of number of seats available gets difficult for us to track.

Complimentary Tickets: Each family receives two free comp tickets to the show/s that their dancer is in. Families do not have access to selecting comp tickets on the website as The Dance Attic is responsible for assigning those tickets to each family. Comp tickets will be redeemed at each Recital and will be listed under the dancer's name. Ticket staff will be available to assist you with this process at all Recitals. Any tickets needed beyond the two free comp tickets will need to be purchased through our online system.

April Backstage Highlight:

Hey, TDA! I’m Morgan. I’m a senior in high school, and I’ve been dancing for 15 years, 7 at The Dance Attic. Dance has been my passion forever, and I’ve loved exploring different styles of movement by taking different classes. For this month’s Backstage Spotlight, I’m going to talk about my all-time favorite dance class! If I had to pick a class or style that I love the most, it would HAVE to be lyrical. I started taking lyrical classes when I began dancing at TDA, and I quickly discovered it was one of my favorite ways to express emotion and decompress. After having a long day, I loved being able to leave my troubles at the door, get in my feels, and dance it out in lyrical. Another part about this class that I love, is the supportive, fantastic people I dance with. I adore my TDA family, and I love that I get to share my passion with other passionate people. I can’t wait to see where the year takes us!
