NEW! Location: Shakespeare Theatre Company: Harman Hall, 610 F Street NW, Washington, DC 20004
To participate in the end of the year performance, students will need to pay one performance fee per each class they are enrolled in. The total cost for each student’s participation is based on the number of classes taken. The performance fee covers the costs associated with costumes, theater rentals, and staffing for rehearsals. It does not cover the cost of recital tickets. Your child will get to keep the costume after the last performance. To pay the performance fee and secure your child’s spot in the recital click HERE.
If your child cannot participate in the recital, they will continue to attend class and learn the dance along with their classmates. Class time will be split between regular technique class and learning/practicing choreography.
