May 19th – 22nd: last week of classes

Per our policies & curriculum:
There is an annual recital in May or June in which each class performs. We order each class a costume for this performance (therefore, if your child is enrolled in 2 classes, he/she will have 2 costumes) Students are not required to purchase these costumes nor are they required to perform in the recital. However, performance in the recital requires purchase of a costume. All costumes will range in price from $50-$85 each. Costumes WILL be ordered during Thanksgiving & Winter Break and a $30 deposit is due to ensure costumes are ordered. **PLEASE NOTE: THE COSTUME DEPOSIT IS NO-REFUNDABLE** Payment for all costumes is due on or before January 31st. Any comments or concerns with this, please let Miss Lindsay know.
The 1:00pm show will feature preschool through 2nd grade classes, 1st-4th modern, 1st-4th poms, opening, staff,
and ATD Blue Heat
The 6:00pm show will feature 3rd grade through HS classes, opening, finale, staff, and ATD Blue Heat
While ticket sales remain open until May 28th, we will determine how many extra tickets we have for sale after May 15th. Please purchase your tickets as soon as possible to help us calculate. Thank you!
Tickets will NOT be sold at the door.
We now have the list available if you need to request more tickets to the recital. Keep in mind we don’t allow dancers to watch the shows unless they sit on laps (so they don’t take a seat away from a ticket holder).
Dancers may watch dress rehearsal and then remain in the dressing room during the shows (we have supervisors there and will have the recital on tv for them to watch)
A reminder that we allow people to watch dress rehearsals as long as they understand those rehearsals tend to take longer, have several pauses as we work through kinks and likely won’t be a clean and polished as the actual performance.
Bringing extra audience members to rehearsals may be a great option for those wanting extra tickets that are potentially not available.
We will have a donation box at the front table as well.
(suggested donation $10/person)
Thank you!

Make your voice heard!
While we are thrilled to be back at GHS in 2024, we have had to increase our ticket prices to the recital due to the nearly triple rental fees we are being charged by District #205. We have reached out to the Board to voice our opinions but need your help as well. Please reach out to the Board or attend any of their meetings to show your support for us and other entities in the community who are being forced to pay significantly higher prices making it nearly impossible to afford to utilize their newly renovated space. We want to support the District but if they aren’t willing to reduce their fees to make it more affordable, we will be forced to find other venues for future recitals.
For 2024: The facility rental fee (not counting the required custodial fee, supervisor fee or technical director fee) that we are being charged is now $300/hour versus $75/hour in years past.
Looking for ways to help?
Our recitals are successful because of our cooperative ATD students and families and our generous volunteers. (and although we have a select few who always show up we could definitely use more!)
Read more on our volunteer page about how you can help either with your time or your sponsorship and donation.
We are grateful and depend on your generosity!
