Performance is an essential part of dance training. Recital is the "graduationceremony" of the season—where a year's worth of weekly technique, performancedevelopment, and hard work culminates on the big stage. Through the rehearsaland performance process, dancers gain more than just choreography. Theydevelop a deep respect for the performing arts and the creative journey, while alsolearning proper stage language and theater etiquette.In becoming performers, students grow as artists—communicating throughmovement and expression. They also build vital life skills: teamwork, problem-solving, critical thinking, adaptability, and the ability to take corrections withhumility and grace. When they step into the spotlight and hear the applause, theyexperience a true sense of pride and accomplishment, celebrating not just aroutine—but the dedication, discipline, and passion behind it.Why do we do recital performances?Five Benefits of Recital Peformance Boosts Confidence1.Promotes Teamwork2.Provides Goals3.Builds New Skills4.Creates Memories5.Peppermint ShowcasePeppermint ShowcaseDecember 6thDecember 6thFriendswood Jr. HighFriendswood Jr. High&&June Recital - TBAJune Recital - TBAJune 2026June 2026ALL RECITALALL RECITALCOSTS ARECOSTS AREINCLUDEDINCLUDED
