Oh the Places You’ll Go… in the Wonderful World of Dance!

Before age 10, many dancers recognize that they love dance and will tell you they want to going to grow up to be “a dancer.” Between ages 12-14, many kids become aware that they may not grow up to be a professional dancer, but they do love dance and have a passion for it. It’s important to get these dancers into the mind set that they can turn their love of dance into a variety of future opportunities, and continue their dance training with a future goal in mind.

Performance Packages and Ticketing Costs Explained

Each semester, we look forward to seeing all of the hard work our staff and students have put into our Winter Showcase and Annual Recital on the Braswell High School Theater stage!! Our goal is to have the showcase be an enjoyable, exciting family event that teaches our students the importance of preparation, focus, teamwork and commitment. We also work very hard in securing a venue that offers a convenient time and location. Since performance venues are extremely difficult to reserve, dance studios often must hold recitals on weeknights, in many cases in a location which conflicts with school and work, and also makes it difficult for family and friends to attend. While weekend bookings do cost more than a Monday afternoon, for example, and require securing dates a year in advance, it is a priority that the recital also be convenient for our families.

Thank you Dance Parents!

Our incredible dance parents at 3-D Dance are at the top of our Thankful list for MANY reasons. 3-D Dance parents are rockstars! They truly make it all happen. Our parents get our dancers where they need to be. They take time out of their day to make sure our dancers arrive to class on time and have everything they need to excel.

What do I Expect from My Child’s First Dance Class?

For the first class, any comfortable athletic attire and athletic shoes work fine. Tops should be fitted enough so that the dancer can bend over comfortably (no loose t-shirts). Hair should be pulled back into a bun or ponytail to avoid falling into the dancer’s face. Our class dress code can be found in our Welcome Booklet here if you want to get an idea of the dress code for each weekly class.

Why does 3-D Dance require specific class attire?

In order to create a distraction free and safe dance class environment at 3-D Dance, all attire must be appropriate for the class, and each dancer should have the correct dance shoes. Hair should be pulled back and secured out of the face before class begins. Dancers should remove all jewelry before class (ear studs are okay.) We've kept our dress code simple and inexpensive for parents and you can access the studio class attire requirements HERE.

A Heartfelt Thank You on our 11th Annual Dance Recital

First and foremost, we want to express our sincere appreciation for your incredible support during this time. The outpouring of support for small businesses in general, and the support for the two of us as your studio owners is overwhelmingly appreciated as we navigate recent challenges and circumstances. Like many of you, we found ourselves weighted with incredibly increased responsibility during a period of uncertainty and rapid change. As we worked to navigate a huge pivot in the way we serve our studio families, absorb the weight of our responsibility to our dedicated employees, and navigate the changes in daily life for our own individual households with seven children of varied ages and needs, your tremendous support and adaptability has been overwhelming and is absolutely appreciated beyond words.

‘Twas the Night Before Recital

''Twas the night before recital, all is quiet and sound. All the costumes are pressed, not a wrinkle is found. My dance shoes are ready in my dance bag with care. And my mommy has brushed out my fake dancer's hair. In my room I do practice one more time before bed. A plié, then tendu, now I must rest my head. I am dreaming of solo's, center stage, and spotlights. Wish us luck at recital, and to all a good night!
