Recital Details & Info.
Recital Performance Schedule
Show A & Show B Explained:
To keep each recital performance at a comfortable length, dancers are divided between Show A and Show B.
This allows us to keep each recital around two hours in length while giving every dancer their moment on stage.
Some classes perform in both A & B shows which is noted on their class ID.
Show A
Thursday, June 18 – 6:30 PM
Saturday, June 20 – 6:30 PM
Show B
Friday, June 19 – 6:30 PM
Saturday, June 20 – 1:00 PM
How Do I Know Which Show My Dancer Is In?
You can confirm your dancer’s assigned show in 3 ways:
1. Your Parent Portal
Log in to view your child's current enrollment. Their classes are labeled with Show A, Show B, or Show A/B
Example: "Ballet/Jazz 4-6 yrs | F 4:30 - Melissa / Show B"
2. Confirmation Email
Families receive an email listing the class song title and show assignment 2 weeks prior to ticket sales.
3. You may also contact the studio to confirm which show.
Recital
Volunteer
We are seeking female adult volunteers to assist backstage during recital weekend.
Volunteers must be available for Dress Rehearsal and one Recital performance that they sign up for.
Each volunteer will be assigned a dressing room and a group of dancers to help prepare for their dances throughout the show. Your child will be assigned to your group as well.
Volunteer roles cannot be assigned unless the volunteer form is completed.

Each family may purchase up to 16 tickets total (maximum of 8 tickets per show) during the family pre-sale.

Ticket Sales – Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does my dancer need a ticket?
A: No, dancers do not need a ticket for the recital. Dancers will be backstage for the duration of the recital with the exception of the Mini Müvers + Müvement classes that are pre-authorized to leave after they perform.
Q: Who does need a ticket?
A: Anyone planning to watch the recital must have a ticket.
This includes infants and toddlers. The Gallo Center requires every person entering the theater to have a ticket, regardless of age. If a child does not have a ticket, the box office will require one to be purchased before entering the auditorium. Our shows sell out so plan ahead.
Q: How much do tickets cost?
A: Tickets range from $31–$44 depending on seating location.
The Gallo Center also charges a handling fee per ticket:
• $6 per ticket when purchased online or by phone
• $3 per ticket when purchased in person at the box office

Q: Which Show Is My Dancer In?

You can also log into your Parent Portal and view your dancer’s enrolled classes. Each class will be labeled Show A, Show B, or Show A/B in the class heading.
If your dancer is enrolled in multiple classes, they may be scheduled to perform in more than one show.
Ticket Purchasing Tip
Arriving early at the box office does not guarantee the best seats. Many families purchase tickets online at the same time. While buying in person saves $3 per ticket in fees, seating availability is the same for all purchase methods.
