For complete 2022 Recital info, please review/download the complete Recital Handbook.
IMPORTANT: Once you receive your costume(s), it is very important that you put them away in the closet and do not take them out or wear them until they are needed. It is important that everyone look their best in the recital, so please take care not to wear/play with/get dirty all costumes before they are needed for recital performances. Costumes cannot be replaced!
**ATTENTION: TYSOD Open School and Roswell Dance Theatre Company Recital Performances are on separate weekends!**
