Recital Information

The rehearsals and recitals will take place at the THOMAS JEFFERSON HIGH SCHOOL Auditorium (4001 West 102nd St., Bloomington, MN 55437).

Rehearsal and recital dates and times can be found here.

*Rehearsals are only for our students and their parents or guardians. It is not a performance experience and is not conducted as such. No additional guests may attend.

Purchase Tickets

Measurements for costumes will be taken at the studio beginning in October. Please note that tights will be ordered FOR ALL STUDENTS along with their costumes. As costumes are custom-ordered, there are no refunds. Alterations may be necessary and are the responsibility of each parent.

Costumes are charged in four installments on October 1st, November 1st, December 1st, and January 1st.

Please watch for emails from the studio as recital time approaches. These emails will include all information needed to know when/where your student needs to be for their performance.

Teachers will communicate with students their expectations for costumes and hair styles.

Tickets can be purchased online on a first-come, first-served basis. Please note that recital tickets are non-refundable.

Tickets are available for purchase online ONLY. Sales will begin in late April. Raddatz Dance will send out an email with information on how to purchase your tickets during the month of April.

Do not buy tickets for performing students! They will not be allowed to enter the auditorium. *Exception – All students who are in preschool or younger classes may enter the audience after their performance. They can sit on a parents lap or they must have their own ticket.

Performers in toddler and preschool classes should be brought backstage completely ready before the show starts. Following their performance, parents must pick up their student and may return to watch the performance if a ticket has been purchased for that student.

All students should go directly backstage when they arrive for each performance. Each class will be assigned a dressing room prior to the performance. The dressing rooms will be clearly labeled backstage. Volunteers will be backstage to assist the children during the performances. If a costume is worn to the venue, it must be completely covered so that no one will see it before the actual performance on stage. Fathers of students will not be allowed in dressing rooms.

STUDENTS ARE NOT ALLOWED IN THE AUDITORIUM BEFORE THE SHOW.

FRIENDS OF STUDENTS ARE NOT ALLOWED IN DRESSING ROOMS OR BACKSTAGE.

NO FOOD OR BEVERAGES ARE ALLOWED IN THE DRESSING ROOMS OR BACKSTAGE.

PLEASE PUT YOUR NAME ON YOUR SHOES AND EACH COSTUME PIECE.

PLEASE LEAVE ALL JEWELRY (WATCHES, EARRINGS) AND VALUABLES AT HOME.

You may take all the photographs and videos you wish on the evening of the dress rehearsal. NO CAMERAS OR VIDEO CAMERAS WILL BE ALLOWED DURING THE RECITAL PERFORMANCES, AS IT IS DISTRACTING TO THE AUDIENCE AS WELL AS THE PERFORMERS.

All families receive a professional video of the recital performance as part of your recital package! This digital copy of our recital will be sent out after the production company has completed editing. This typically happens by the end of June.

PHOTO DAYS AT OUR STUDIO

We will have photo days at our studio to take both group photos as well as individual pictures. Photo day is typically in April or early May. Once a photo day is booked, Raddatz Dance will email all families to let them know the dates of phots and any other additional information that families may need.
