Recital Fee - It is a non-refundable required payment for all accounts in the show. The recital fee includes 4 tickets and a recital DVD.
Routines - for the May show are not started until January. We strongly believe that students must learn to dance,

not just A dance.
Security – We take the security of your child very seriously. It is the most important issue at all of our Recital functions, including all events at the Theatre. We will have a staff member on duty at all Theatre Recital events.
For the safety of your child, they will not permit dancers out of the backstage/dressing room area, nor will they permit anyone other than properly credentialed and uniformed staff into that area. All PDA recital functions are
CLOSED to parents & guests, thus allowing us to keep a tight rein on all that is going on. NO parents are allowed in backstage dressing room area during the entire show at any time, including Intermission in order to keep our security intact.
Studio Rehearsals - Will last 1 ½ hours for Kinder classes and approximately 4 hours for other classes, depending upon how many dances the student is in. Dancers are to wear their studio uniform, not costumes, for Studio
Rehearsal. There is one rehearsal held at Premier Dance Academy and dates are on the calendar .
