RECITAL INFORMATION
June 13th, 2025 6:00pm - 8:30pm
Michael J. Fox Theatre (Inside Burnaby South Secondary)
7373 MacPherson Avenue, Burnaby
Dance recitals are a time to shine and entertain, to gain confidence and receive appreciation, and most importantly, to have fun. We hope every dancer feels accomplished and proud of their hard work and dedication this year.
ARRIVALS
(specific times follow at the end of the page)
At your arrival time meet us in the lobby of the theatre and we will direct you to the correct room for your dancer.
-
Drop off your child in tights and costume, with hair done
-
Bring dance shoes in a separate, labeled bag
-
Send a water bottle, light meal, and lots of snacks
At drop off you and your child will get a wristband; please try to ensure the same person drops off and picks up.
SCHEDULE OF EVENTS AFTER DRESS REHEARSAL
-
5:00pm Dinner Break (you can come check on your dancer, take them to the bathroom, give them dinner etc)
-
5:30pm Any dancers that were picked up at the dinner break must be returned.
-
6:00pm Show starts!
Parents of Saturday dancers (or any other dancer with only one routine): please pick your dancer up immediately after they perform or at Intermission so that they may watch the rest of the show with you. We will make an announcement before the end of the show when we need them to return backstage for our finale & awards.
TICKETS
Each registered dancer's family receives two adult tickets which will be distributed starting June 6th. Saturday dancers will also receive one performer's ticket so that they may watch the show.
All other tickets are on sale at Eventbrite after May 26th.
Adults (ages 18+) $20
Youth (ages 12-17) $15
Children (ages 4-11) $12
Toddlers (3 & under) free
Due to fire code, all patrons (including toddlers) must have a ticket.
We have LIMITED Toddler tickets available and do not generally recommend attendance for age 3 & under. The lights and noise of the crowd can be overwhelming so that parents with little ones spend most of the show in the lobby. We kindly ask that you are mindful before ordering a Toddler ticket about how you will manage them throughout the show.
AFTER THE SHOW
-
Mini, Petite, & Primary dancers: please pick up directly from the stage
-
Mini Mover, Tiny Twirler, Budding Ballet dancers: please pick up from your assigned room (to be designated at drop off)
-
All other dancers; please allow our smaller dancers to get picked up and clear out first, then meet your parents in the lobby
COMMON QUESTIONS
How many tickets can we buy?
In our fees we include two tickets for each dancer to make sure that parents are always accommodated, Once our general tickets go on sale, families are welcome to buy as many tickets as they like.
What happens if our dancer arrives late?
We can not delay a rehearsal time if a dancer is late. If you know in advance that your dancer will not be able to make their specified time, please let us know when you will be arriving so that we can meet your child in the lobby. Being late decreases the chance of your child being successful on stage as they will miss their stage rehearsal and then feel unprepared and overwhelmed at show time.
**If a child does not want to perform we will not force them to.
Can we record our dancer's performance?
Our entire program is professionally recorded and edited. It will be available for parents to download. (Last year it was available within 24 hours) We ask that you respect all of our families by NOT recording or taking photos of any dance. It is very distracting and embarrassing to the young dancers on stage, and quite frankly, annoying to other audience members.
Please email us by May 31st:
-
If your dancer will not be attending
-
If your dancer will need help with their hair (we will have lots of help, but need to know how many we are helping!)
-
If your dancer will be performing but will not be staying to watch
