The Dance Vault
2024-2025 Annual Recital
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!!!!

Recital Costumes: Recital costumes do not include tights, shoes or undergarments. All extra accessories (tights, shoes, undergarments, etc.) will be decided and shared with dancers and parents. 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. Dancers will need to wear makeup as the stage lighting will wash out their faces. All dancers should have studio makeup.
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 prior or of recital. Photo package details and photo schedule will be available at a later date. TDV plans to distribute costumes to dancers.

Recital Costume Details and FAQs:
When is the recital costume fee due? Recital costume fees are due in December. If your dancer enrolled after November 25th, then it will be due on the 25th of the month of enrollment or next month (if applicable).
How much is the recital costume fee? Recital costume fee of $75+tax ($80.44 total) (per non-technique class).
I have multiple dancers or my dancer is in more than one class, may I spread the recital costume fees over 2 months? Dancers enrolled in class prior to December 1st and in more than one class may request to spread the recital costume fees over two months to help budget for dance. Email request must be sent to TheDanceVaultHTX@gmail.com at least three business days prior to the recital costume(s) fee due date.
Why are Recital Costume fee(s) due December 25th? To secure the funds to let our staff plan on what dance costumes they can budget to order. We also take measurements and place orders for recital costumes well in advance to ensure everyone's dance costume arrives in time for recital. Many dance studios order at the same time and popular dance costumes can be back-ordered several months.
What classes are included in recital? All non-technical classes. For instance, Leaps & Turns class is considered a technical class and Beginning Ballet is a "non-technical class". We will only post a recital costume fee if your dancer is enrolled in the applicable non-technical class. If you notice a fee is posted for a technical class or have any questions please email billing@thedancevault.net.
What if my dancer transfers to another class? A new recital costume fee may be due for that class on the 25th of the month of transfer or the next (if applicable).
What if my dancer does not wish to participate in recital anymore? Email notification toTheDanceVaultHTX@gmail.com is required at least three days prior to the recital costume fee due date.
