Each year we hold a spectacular Holiday Show in December & two amazing Spring Recitals in June, where each student has the opportunity to perform for a live audience and show off what they've learned! These are their days to feel like stars!
We know that nowadays many dance schools have downplayed the "show experience" to their customers because shows can be costly, BUT - without performances, the dancers do not get a chance to perform their art! Our two shows are at opposite ends of the spectrum in cost & formality, but are both true shows performed in front of real audiences, which are invaluable experiences for dancers both in the art of dance, and also in building confidence! Many of our former students cite Colby Center Recitals as the best experiences they had leading up to college & job interviews, dance auditions, giving oral presentations, and much more!
The Holiday Show is a lower-key performance where each dancer performs in a leotard & tights they already own & a simple custom-designed souvenir t-shirt or Holiday-themed skirt or accessory. We have basic, free program books for all audience members, and we sell tickets online through our Parent Portal to cover the cost of renting the wonderful facility the dancers perform in. It is a relatively low-cost, high-fun look at each of our classes!
Our Spring Recital shows are more like the traditional year-end performances that dancers are accustomed to - with high quality costumes & lights, full-color program books, and at our studio, each family that participates in the show receives a DVD of their show to share with friends & family for years to come, a souvenir Recital t-shirt, a Recital Day gift, and MORE! Audience members do need tickets to attend the show (available for purchase through our Parent Portal), to cover the cost of renting the facility. The recital experience is low stress at our studio, very little work for our families, but the end result is always highly praised. It is the BIG DAY of the dance year!
