Kingdom Dance Shoppe Recital Season Hours

If you’re in need of recital materials from the shop (hair nets, tights, shoes, undergarments, etc.), KDS will be open after Sunday’s Finale rehearsal on May 4 @ 11:00 and May 5, 6, 7, and 8 @ 2:00-7:00. There won’t be anyone available at the shop the week of recital, but if your dancer needs something, Stevie can bring it to rehearsal for you to purchase there.

Dancers from the Silver, Red, Yellow, Green, and Indigo classes had their first 2025 outdoor finale rehearsal on Sunday!

Due Thursday: Recital Program Entries (Feel free to come into the studio to look at old programs!)

Recital prep is ramping up! This week, students are bringing home their recital program form. Additionally, our dress rehearsal schedule is below.

If you would like your dancer to be included in the recital program, please fill out your form and return it with payment by Thursday, April 3. Previous years’ programs are kept at the studio to look through if you need examples.

More information about the ins and outs of dress rehearsal and recital will come home closer to the show. As a reminder, recital dates are always posted on the Calendar of Events page.

Reminder: We have February break from 2/24 through 2/27. We do not take the additional days for Town Meeting Day.

Spring Sessions: Over the last two weeks, information about our spring optional classes went home with students who dance 1.5+ hours per week. If your student would like to participate, please hand in the form by this Thursday.

And CONGRATULATIONS to our Senior Company, Junior Company, and Petite Company for their success at competition this weekend!

Classes resume today, January 6.

Picture Day is next weekend!! Information about Picture Day and your dancer’s order form will come home this week. {Your dancer’s session time went home before the holiday break.} Please make sure you’ve gone through your dancer’s costume checklist before Picture Day. If you no longer have the costume checklist, Stevie will print you a new one.

Color Classes: A new drive folder with recital music was emailed this morning.

Competition Dancers: We will have two rehearsals before our competition next month. A handout will go home this week.
