Welcome to a Night Where Dreams Dance in Real Life
This isn’t just a recital.
It’s a celebration of everything we dare to imagine, create, and become.

Dream it. Dance it. Barbie it.
This year, Art & Dance Studio invites your family to step into a world inspired by Barbie—a world where dreams sparkle, music empowers, and every dancer shines with confidence, creativity, and heart.
From tiny ballerinas to fierce hip hop stars, every student takes the stage not just to perform—but to tell their story.
A story of courage. Friendship. Self-expression.
A story where they are the main character of their own dream.

Ticket Policy – Let’s Make This Magical Together
We’re so excited to have your dancer join us for Winter Recital 2025: Barbie — Step Into the Dream!
Ticket Sales
-
All tickets are $17 each and will be available for purchase at the front desk starting October 6, 2025.
-
Tickets are not included in recital participation fees.
-
Tickets must be paid at the time of seat selection.
-
This year, we are testing reserved seating — each ticket corresponds to a numbered seat on the auditorium map.
Pro tip: earlier payments mean earlier access to seat selection—so you can pick your favorite spot first!
Unlimited Ticket Purchases
-
Because we are hosting three separate shows this year, families may purchase as many tickets as they wish — there are no limits per student or family.
-
However, we kindly ask families with dancers performing in more than one show to keep the majority of their tickets for one show so that every family has the opportunity to attend comfortably.
How to Purchase Tickets
-
Tickets will be sold in person at the Art & Dance Studio front desk during regular class hours through November 17th.
-
After November 17th, we will open online ticket sales for any remaining tickets, allowing families to purchase from home.
-
Parents must show proof that recital participation fees (full or first installment) have been paid before choosing seats.
-
We kindly ask that you allow the first and last 10 minutes of class for trial student check-ins before approaching the desk.
