Please note your picture time may not be at the exact time your weekly class is held. No Recreational or Performance Team classes will be held this week so the dancers should arrive ready for pictures (dressing rooms are available for dancers who need to change costumes between classes).
Sibling/Buddy photos can be done during one child's scheduled photo time. Email [email protected] if you plan to do a buddy photo! Please bring all dancers dressed/ready to help us keep things moving quickly.

Recital Hair & Make-Up
The Platinum store has make-up and bun kits with everything you need!
Recital Hair
At recital, just like in the classroom, it is important to secure your dancer's hair away from their face to ensure their smile SHINES onstage!
Recital Make-Up
Make-up is not required for dancers in recitals. It is highly recommended to accentuate your child's features under the bright stage lights
Hair and Make-Up Tutorials can be found HERE
Recital Day
COMING SOON!
**Please note: During the finale at each recital, we will be using a confetti canon to signal the end of our show. All dancers will participate in the finale and we practice this in class! We inform dancers of the loud noise / confetti, but we understand it can be alarming for some dancers. Please reach out to [email protected] if your dancer will require sound cancelling headphones or to sit with a teacher at the recital.
Recital Videos
All dancers will be billed a required $30 all-access video fee per family on April 1, 2025 to receive the digital download of the recital video! A link to the videos will be shared with families this summer once the footage is completed.
We are excited to welcome Mr. Video (30+ years of professional media experience) back to film the Platinum Dance recital stage!
Recital FAQs
Do I need to buy a ticket for my dancer?
>>> No! Dancers do not need a ticket to participate in the recital.
Do I need to be backstage with my dancer?
>>> One parent per dancer will drop off their dancer in the dressing room before the show. Following the finale, one parent per dancer will pick up their dancer in the dressing room. We will have plenty of Platinum staff and Parent Volunteers in dressing rooms and backstage.
What do I do if my dancer is in multiple dances in the same recital?
>>> Your dancer will meet in the dressing room of the first dance with all of their belongings. We have staff and parent volunteers who will help your dancer change their costume and shoes for the next performance. During picture week, your dancer will be able to change their costume in our studio dressing rooms with your help.
The countdown until SHOWTIME!
Sharing our Passion for Dance & enriching lives.
