RECITAL CLASS LISTS* The list below shows the classes in each recital, as well as the classes not participating in this year's recital. *This is NOT the order of the show. This just shows the classes in each performance.
In our past recitals, we changed the hairstyles for the two afternoon recitals (AND ALL TEAMS) in order to make the changing and backstage process easier for all involved - AND IT WENT SO WELL! We will be keeping this style for this year's shows, as well. Please take a look at the hair tutorial and photos below. In addition, there is a list of hairstyles, shoes, and tights for ALL SHOWS in the tab below. PLEASE NOTE: The list below says "bun" or "pony" for hair, and team dances. This style is to be done WITH the braids, as shown below. Some dances will simply switch between the bun and pony WITH the braids. If you need help with hair, there will be people backstage to assist you!
