Recital 
For the past 21 years, Dance Factory of New Smyrna Beach, Inc. has provided students with an exciting performance experience through its annual recitals.  The recital is the staple of a dance school.  It gives our children a chance to shine in front of family and friends. The recitals offer our students a professionally directed performance that allows them to present the results of a year’s hard work, dedication, and progress.  A big part of the dance training process includes learning through performance.  The experience helps most build self-esteem, self-assurance, and contributes to a sense of confidence. 
Although performance opportunities can help prepare some students for a possible career in dance, they also contribute to children’s success in non-dance activities.  The rehearsal process is a tremendous learning experience as well.  It helps the children develop retention skills. By working with their classmates on a group performance, they learn the positive aspects of working as a team to create the best end result.
            Dedication to recital commitments is the responsibility of both students and their parents.  I have created this handbook in an effort to clarify what we expect from you in terms of commitments and responsibility to the annual recital, the studio, and other students and parents.
