Recital Program
Weekly Classes | Two Performance Opportunities Per Year
Our Recital Program is designed for dancers who want to train in a structured,
syllabus-based environment while developing confidence and celebrating their growth. Ideal for families in the Quinte area, this program offers high-quality technical training and stage experience, making it an excellent fit for dancers balancing other commitments or seeking a well-rounded, performance-focused dance education.
Students in this stream attend one weekly class and participate in two exciting events each season: a winter showcase performance in December and a full-scale year-end recital complete with professional staging and stunning costumes. Every class concludes the season with this fully staged performance, allowing dancers to proudly demonstrate their progress and celebrate their achievements in front of family and friends.
