Optional Expenses for Recital:
- Recital ads – Recital ads are a way to commemorate your dancer in our Souvenir programs. Programs contain pictures of all of our teachers, groups, and a show order. We also place ads of our dancers in the programs. Ads can be sold to friends, family members, businesses, etc. The ad generally is set-up with a picture of the student and some type of message such as: Good Luck on Your Recital, we love you! Love your family!
- DVDs - High Quality DVDs of the recital, produced by Post House Productions, can be purchased in the lobby the day of recital or in the offices at the studios. These will be movie-like quality of the entire show. The DVD will be edited and formatted for you. DVDs will be $35 and $40 for us to ship it to you.
- Pictures –Dawg Prints photography will be shooting our photographs this year. We have pictures on 1-day (unlike other studios) so that we do NOT take away from your class time. We will have the picture proofs at the studio at a later date for you to view and be able to purchase packages. The packages are VERY REASONABLE and Dawg Prints Photography is a HIGH-QUALITY photographer.
- Recital T-shirts – We are offering recital t-shirts to commemorate our recital for the year. The t-shirts cost $20 plus tax and will be available for sale only by ordering by the deadline. All names of the students that are participating in the production will be listed as a ‘Cast List’ for the back of our shirts. *Design on the order form
- Flowers and balloons – We offer an opportunity to order flowers for your star dancer! The packages are done at a reasonable rate and will be delivered to the venue the day of recital so you can ‘surprise’ your dancer with their gift after the show. Gifts are generally given at the end of the show after we do our finale. We generally leave the backdrop down and the lights on the stage on, in case you want to take pictures on the stage. We also offer a photo backdrop in the lobby area of the recital venue for you to take pictures.
