Annual Recitals
|
What is recital? This is a question that is asked many times each year and it is a question that we would like to address. At Joyce Dance Studios, recital is that very special evening in June for students, parents and friends alike. On this evening, each of our students, in his/her own way and according to his/her ability, demonstrate the skills which have been developed and the talent that has been nurtured. The word "recital" suggests what the evening is all about. Each student "recites" that which he/she has learned as the culminating activity of the dance school year.

All students will be ready to perform and we strongly encourage that they do so. We would like to have them perform and feel they would benefit from the experience. The annual dance recital is the culminating event of the dance school year -yet it is not the sole purpose of their journey. It is a very important goal for each child and serves as a time when success can be his/hers. It also serves as a reinforcer in the development of self-confidence and affords children and parents the opportunity to share a "success" experience together.
Down through the years, dance training has taken on, in addition to cultural development and physical skill development the very important role of being part of the "educational" process. In this light, dance recital, with its exposure to presentation of the self, also fulfills a major part in this educational process. Education is more and more moving in the direction of performance.
We are and have been very proud of our annual dance recitals. Although all of our children participate in only one performance, we present three complete recitals. Each performance features students from 3 years of age through adults and features all types of dance taught at the Joyce Dance Studios. Of course, the recitals are all enhanced by special costuming, lighting and scenery. Annually, the talents of the students are presented in dance recital concerts to and for the pleasure of many.
The most important people at dance recital are our own students - your child/children. We look forward to each and every one of them joining us for this great experience. We certainly hope that you will share our feelings as to the importance of dance recital and encourage your child/children to participate in one of the presentations. We know that you will be pleased and will be providing a great educational, as well as fun-filled and enjoyable experience for your child.
