On Your Toes holds one annual recital in mid-June. All of
the dancers are invited to participate in the recital. Costumes are selected in
the late fall/early winter and arrive in the spring.
Our dance recitals are held at Rickman Auditorium at Fox High
School. We have two shows and most dancers perform one of the two evenings.
Recitals consist of a pre-show and a regular show.
Our pre-show lasts approximately one hour and consists of our
competition dancers of the year performing the routines that they competed with
during the dance season. Pre-Show serves as an excellent source of
entertainment while waiting for the recital show to begin. The recital starts
promptly at 7:00 p.m. and is usually over between 9:00 and 9:30 p.m. Balloons
are handed out every year at the end of the show to all dancers and guests.
Parents have the OPTION every year to purchase picture packages
and to have photos taken of their children in their recital costumes. Kelly
always assists at each photo shoot with each dancer to make sure they have the
best pose and smile to make an excellent picture. Information of the
photographer and prices are given out in early spring. Pictures are taken
during the month of May.
Parents also have the option of purchasing recital flowers and
recital T-Shirts for the dancers. They may be pre-ordered and held for you
until the night of the recital. By pre-ordering, each family is guaranteed to
have their bouquets waiting to be picked up and given to their dancer. Recital
T-Shirts act as a recital memento of their special recital night and a year in
dance
