This will be sent in a separate email for all to view.

Those of you who pre-ordered Recital Programs & T Shirts will receive those in a bag with all pre-ordered merchandise prior to recital. Parents be on the lookout for an email on when those items will be ready for pick up/pass out. At the recital venue is where you will pick up your pre-ordered flowers, prior to entering the auditorium. You will give your last name, and they will have your flowers ready for pick up. There will be a limited number of programs and T-Shirts for sale at the venue. This will be on sale for cash or venmo payments only.
Recital – Dismissal Protocol: (On Recital Days Only)
After the final routine of each recital, all classes will take their final bow. Once the bow in Recital #1 and #2 is complete, the curtains will close and dancers will be set up on stage for parents to pick up their children from the stage. This is the perfect time to hand them their gifts and trinkets and flowers. This will be rehearsed at Dress Rehearsal and parents will see this process then.Once you have retrieved your child from the stage you will take them exactly how you dropped them off to gather their belongings and exit from the recital. Dancers in Recital #3 and our TDAC Dancers will be dismissed from the dressing room area to find their families before exiting from the recital. Please know that we must clear the entire auditorium before opening doors for the next recital. There should be no seats saved for any show, prior to or in between recitals.
Recital – Some Extra Fun
New this year, we have added an autograph page in the program! Dancers can get their classmates, Class of 2024, and even their teachers to sign their program out in the lobby following the shows. A new fun little memory keeper for all.
Achievement Pins
For dancers that are new this season, we will have your first year achievement for you to take home during your in house dress rehearsal. A fun keepsake to keep track of their dance journey and their time here at TDA. Dancers receiving the 5 or 10 year milestone achievement pins will be recognized on stage at recital
