Volunteers Needed
We are looking for volunteers to help backstage in various roles during the recital. If you are interested, please fill out a Backstage Volunteer Application. Once we receive your application, you will be notified mid-April with more information on your volunteer responsibilities. Don’t worry, you will not miss your child’s performance while you volunteer!
Deadline to fill out the application is April 23.
Recital Tickets
Tickets go on sale Saturday, March 18, 2023, at 8:00 a.m. ($9.00/ticket plus a service fee per ticket). The recital will be at Appleton West High School, which is much larger than our previous venue. This means there will be no limit to how many tickets you may purchase! Children three years and younger do not require a ticket; however, they must remain seated on a lap of someone that has purchased a ticket.
Flower Donations
During the last show, we present staff with flowers to show our appreciation for all their hard work throughout the year. If you would like to donate money for these flowers, we will have a donation box hanging outside the dance office. You can also donate during both rehearsals.
