2020-2021 Annual Dance Vault Recital
“You Better Work!”
The Dance Vault is very excited to announce we have found a better venue for recital! Due to Covid, many venues are not allowing outside renters to rent at all. However, Danielle has not stopped trying to find a place that offers a true theatre environment. That said, we finally struck gold this week and found a venue upgrade. Even better, we were able to book a date to have a recital to stay on the originally planned weekend but moved to Saturday! Please make sure you make note of all important dates listed in this email as they are now 100% finalized. We are so excited to get back into a real auditorium and showcase all of your dancers' hard work this season!
As a reminder, recital offers our students a chance to showcase the results of a year’s hard work, dedication and progress in a professional setting. Performance is a large part of dance and having the opportunity to dance onstage helps build self-esteem, self-assurance and confidence. The onstage experience will filter through all aspects of a dancer’s life and contribute to success in dance and non-dance activities. We are thrilled to extend this opportunity to The Dance Vault dancers. Please SAVE THE FOLLOWING DATES AND DETAILS!!!!
- Monday, April 26th – Wednesday, April 28th: Recital Group & Individual Pictures @ The Dance Vault (detailed schedule TBA)
- Friday, May 14th: Mandatory Stage Rehearsal @ The Dance Vault (detail schedule TBA)

Recital Costumes: Recital costumes do not include tights, shoes or undergarments. All extra accessories (tights, shoes, undergarments, etc.) will be decided no later than March 26th. All costumes have been chosen by the instructor and will be age appropriate. When measuring for costumes, we do allow for growth; however, costumes are not custom made and may require alterations at parent’s expense.
Hair/Makeup: Detailed hairstyles for each class will be decided by the instructor. We will be working on a digital costume book to send via email after we return from Spring Break. Dancers will need to wear makeup as the stage lighting will wash out their faces. All dancers should have dark pink blush, dark pink or red lipstick & mascara.
Class Attendance and Rehearsals: As with all The Dance Vault performances, our recital will be of the highest standard and extremely professional. In order to create a production of this quality, each dancer needs to be 100% confident of their dances. Class attendance is extremely important once the recital dance is being instructed. Please do not miss any classes (with exception of emergencies). The Dance Vault has a right to withhold a dancer from performing in the recital for excessive absences, as we will not put a dancer on stage that is not prepared.
Recital Group/Individual Photos: Posed group and individual photos in costume will be taken during the week of April 26th – April 28th. Photo package details and photo schedule will be available at a later date. TDV plans to distribute costumes to dancers the first week of April.
