RECITAL DATES AND DRESS REHEARSALS
We will be holding two full recitals, one for our younger students and one for our older students.
Both recitals will be held at the Verona Area High School Performing Arts Center on Thursday, April 17th.
Dress rehearsals for the recital will be:

If you do NOT wish to participate in the in the recital, please email the VACT Education Director Justin McDermott at education@vact.org by FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 8th. Dancers who are not participating in the recital will still be a full part of their class, but will learn the recital routine for fun, instead of for performing at the recital, and will not purchase a costume or have a spot in the recital formation.
PLEASE NOTE: If costume costs are the reason for not participating in the recital, please reach out to VACT Education Director Justin McDermott at education@vact.org to discuss options. We don’t want any dancers to not to participate in the recital due to financial challenges.
