Meaning behind the theme

The Dance Center is proud to present our inaugural recital: A Star is Born. As many of you know, TDC is a new studio but our studio’s history and foundation can be found within the 48 years of dance at Tammy's Dance Center. Out of the end of Tammy’s Dance Center, The Dance Center was born. 

But our studio is not the only light in the sky, as we only shine as bright as your little dancing stars! Your children have worked all season for this moment and now is their time to brighten up the stage. 

Be sure to be on the lookout for little twinkles of inspiration throughout our program, such as in our company opening number, "Hercules", in dances like "When You Wish Upon a Star", and our star themed finale.

General Info

Dancer arrival time: TBA

Auditorium opening time: TBA


No food or drink is allowed in the auditorium or dressing rooms. Please snack before or after the shows. This applies to performers and the audience. 


A sign-in station will be set up at the side door towards the back of the parking lot (near E University Ave.) for dancers and one designated guardian. 


No men, boys, or non-enrolled siblings in dressing rooms. 

Again, no non-enrolled siblings are allowed in dressing rooms.


This show will run quickly! Dancers will only have enough time to change into costumes, switch shoes, and possibly change hair between numbers. Dancers should arrive with hair and make-up show-ready for their first number. Please pack your dancer’s costumes in the appropriate order in order to help the flow of the backstage crew and the show.


All TDC dancers are invited to perform in our finale. Dancers will line up backstage during Dad's Dance and perform shortly thereafter. Attire for the finale is the recital t-shirt, black shorts with caramel tights or black leggings, jazz shoes, ballet shoes, or hip-hop tennis shoes. Each age range will have their own special part and choreography to be taught in May during their regular classes. After finale, dancers will be taken back to their dressing rooms for parents to meet them and clean up their space. The selected guardian MUST check out their dancer before they leave. This is the surest way to know everyone left safely.

This year we are moving to a digital download of the show. So many people had expressed that they no longer had DVD players to watch the recital (me included!) that we are excited to offer this new way to view the show.

These shirts will be worn with either black leggings, booty shorts or black pants for the finale.

Extra shirts will be available for purchase for $25 each for anyone else that wants one. Orders are due by May 15th.

Please fill out the form below so we know what size you need. 

Dancer tshirt form is in office at the studio so you can try on sizes and see what best fits your dancer. The shirt is included with their recital fee.

Recital Sponsorship

Do you, or your business, love the arts? Show your support of our youth and become a TDC sponsor!! Platinum, Gold, Silver and Bronze levels available. For more information, click the link below.


Cast List

Each dancer will have their name on the back of the recital t-shirt. All dancers receive this shirt as part of the recital package and will wear them during the finale at the recital. Please double check the spelling of the name and to make sure no one was left off.  If a correction needs to be made, please correct it on the printed copy in the front office ASAP! If you see a ❤️ by your dancer's name it is because they are in company. If you see a 🩵 it is because they are a helper in one of our baby classes.

Awards List

5, 10 & 15 Year Awards

Every year we present 5, 10 & 15 year awards. If you think your child/dancer is due to receive one of these, please notify the front desk. I would hate to not have a trophy for them! We are honoring the years of dance taken with Tammy's Dance Center. 

Dancers that left for 1 year and returned will continue with their number of years they have taken.

Dad's who've participated in dad's dance 5, 10, or 15 years will receive awards as well.

Before each recital, we will have award recipients meet on stage left front wing to be called for their trophy. Dancer will walk across the stage while having their bio read as the audience celebrates. If dancers have dances in the first few numbers, they will receive their award in their first costume. However, if they are 8 or more numbers in, they may wear formal attire as this is a very special moment and they deserve to look their best.

Trophies will be held back stage for dancers who must go on stage right away or a few numbers after we start the show. Otherwise, dancer's will take their trophy back to their dressing room.

We will post a final list by May 11th. If you have not notified us by this time, we cannot promise to have it listed in the program or have a trophy for presentation!

Please fill out this google awards form for the recital. (Only those getting 5, 10 and 15 year awards.)

10 YEAR AWARDS



Room Mom 

We rely on volunteers to be Room Mom and take care of all the accessories for the class. This year I will only need 1 per class to be in charge of handing out the headpieces and accessories. They will need to be taken up after pictures or rehearsal and then turned back in to the office (in case someone comes later in the week for a sibling picture) and then handed out again at recital. 

If you are organized and willing to help, please sign up at the front desk!

Recital T-Shirt

Dancer's recital shirt size runs can be found in the front office. Please select the size that best fits your dancer and fill out the form in person. If you fail to fill out the form by 5/10, we will have to guess your dancer's size. Your dancer's recital shirt is covered in the annual recital fee and is part of our recital package. 


Dress Rehearsal

Dress Rehearsal is Friday, June 7th

at S.A.G.U.

Please click the link below for your dress rehearsal schedule. The times to the far right are what time you will need to be dressed in costume and ready to go on stage!  We are known to run ahead of schedule so dancers need to be ready to go 30 minutes before their call time.

You can find your dances by finding their class time first and then make sure you have the correct teacher (we have 3 rooms that may have the same class time.) If you are unsure, feel free to ask your teacher for help.

We recommend printing the schedule out and bringing it with you as your program for dress rehearsal day.

WHO CAN COME TO REHEARSAL AND IN TO THE DRESSING ROOMS?

Dress rehearsal is closed to family and friends! 

Each dancer is permitted 1 person with them at dress rehearsal. This means NO extra siblings, family members or friends. You will check in backstage and be given a wristband that will get you in to the dressing rooms and in to the auditorium.  Dressing rooms are shared by multiple classes and there isn't enough room for friends and extra family.

No dads or boys (of any age) are permitted in the girls' dressing rooms!

We will be checking wristbands on this day based on the number of dancers and their +1 and that will be all the wristbands we will have. Every year we have people who try to bring extra people with them and are not allowed past security so please be prepared for this.

IS DRESS REHEARSAL REQUIRED?

Yes! Yes! Yes!

All dancers must be at dress rehearsal (unless Mrs. Hannah has given permission otherwise) in order to perform at the recital.

WHERE DO I GO?

You will need to pickup your wristband at the check in table. This will get you back to the dressing rooms. You will need to repeat this procedure on Sunday to get back there again.

After receiving your armband you can then proceed to your assigned dressing rooms.

WHAT TIME CAN I GET IN?

We recommend coming dressed for your first dance. Please don't wear dance shoes outside. 

We have a tendency to run early during dress rehearsal so arriving 1 hour before your call time will allow you plenty of time to find your dressing room and finish any last minute touchups you may need. 

Check the rehearsal schedule for your actual call time. 


Picture Week Info

General Info for Picture Week

Important Information

Recital Accessory List 

Please see your costume checklist page for details on appropriate tights and shoes. PLEASE NOTE, we keep all costume accessories and headpieces at the studio so they do not get misplaced. 

Tights

You are responsible for purchasing the appropriate tights. The color is listed on the class/time page.

If your dancer is in a tap/ballet combo, we suggest they wear their pink tights underneath their caramel to make quick changes go even faster! 

Group Pictures

Individual pictures are an option but we would like for everyone to be in the group shots. These are in the program and we would hate it if your child wasn't in the picture.
