Dress Rehearsal Week is May 5 - 10 at the Platinum Dance studio!

Dancers will attend their regularly scheduled classes this week wearing their recital costume! This is a great chance to also practice your dancer's hairstyle to make sure it is secure enough to stay during the choreography.

Parents will be invited in for the last 15 minutes of class to view the recital dances and celebrate the year's achievements!

All dancers will be billed a required $30 all-access video fee per family on April 1, 2025 to receive the digital download of the recital video! A link to the videos will be shared with families this summer once the footage is completed.

We are excited to welcome Mr. Video (30+ years of professional media experience) back to film the Platinum Dance recital stage!

Do I need to buy a ticket for my dancer?

No! Dancers do not need a ticket to participate in the recital.

Do I need to be backstage with my dancer?

One parent per dancer will drop off their dancer in the dressing room before the show. Following the finale, one parent per dancer will pick up their dancer in the dressing room. If you would like to be with your dancer, please sign up to be a Parent Volunteer above in the Recital Extras tab.

What do I do if my dancer is in multiple dances in the same recital?

Your dancer will meet in the dressing room of the first dance with all of their belongings. We have staff and parent volunteers who will help your dancer change their costume and shoes for the next performance. During picture week, your dancer will be able to change their costume in our studio dressing rooms with your help.
