bonus dances
In addition to their recital routines, some dancers may have the opportunity to participate in special bonus performances that add an extra layer of excitement and celebration to recital weekend. These featured dances bring dancers, families, and our studio community together in unique ways and often become some of the most memorable moments of the performance.
RECITAL FINALE
REGISTER BY APRIL 3RD
Be one of the FIRST performers on stage for bows joined by dancers ages 7 and up (age as of Sept. 1st, 2026) as we end each recital with our historic Finale! Your dancer will learn choreography that will be seen in addition to our traditional finale choreography performed by Chara Company members.
All dancers will participate in a curtain call; however, if you'd like to be a part of PERFORMING in Finale, sign-up to join to fun! It's the same finale you love, just leveled up.

RECITAL INFORMATION
You are able to arrive 30 minutes before the start time of your recital. There will be an announcement in the dressing room about 20 minutes before show start time that if you are a finale participant to come to the stage so we can set the formation for that recital. We will set our formation, practice entrances and exits and then you will be dismissed to go finish getting ready for your first dance. When the time comes in the show, we will grab our finale participants and get them lined up backstage. After the studio portion of finale concludes, dancers will be put back with their classes to line up to take bows at the end of the show.
