ABA Spring Recital

This year Alameda Ballet Academy will be holding a Spring Recital to showcase all of our students' accomplishments! Dancers will be performing exerpts from The Sleeping Beauty.

Each level will perform a separate dance and they will be rehearsed during class times (with the exception of Ballet 4 and 5 students). If your child cannot be involved in the performance, we will still have them learn the dances so they are receiving instruction during the entire class. Of course we always want to encourage every student to be involved in the production as part of their performing arts education but understand if they cannot commit to the performance.

As you know, successful performances can only take place with the assistance of many helping hands. We will be asking all families to donate time to help put on this production.

There is no flash photography or video taping during the recital, we encourage parents to sit back, relax and enjoy your childs/childrens performance. Children are to be dropped off at their call times, for rehearsal and performance, parents are not to stay unless they have signed up to volunteer during that time. Don't forget to sign up to volunteer! Sign up sheets are up in the lobby!
