Annual Recital:
Our annual recital is a significant and joyous event that includes all our students. It serves as a platform for our students to showcase the results of their year-long hard work, dedication and progress to their families and friends.
Participating in performances is an essential part of dance training. It not only prepares students for potential careers in dance but also contributes to their overall success in life. Performing builds self-esteem, confidence, and improves social and presentation skills, which can benefit students in their academic and professional pursuits. Additionally, the rehearsal process offers valuable learning experiences, helping students develop retention skills and understand the importance of teamwork.
Our 2025 recital will take place at the Sorenson Center for the Arts at Babson College, a beautiful state-of-the art venue, on the weekend of May 30-June 2, 2025. Dress rehearsals occur at the theatre during the prior week. Please note that participating in the dress rehearsal is mandatory for all students to perform in the recital. We strictly adhere to this policy.
Dress rehearsal at Sorenson/Babson: May 27-29 - tentative

Costume Deposits:
All costumes are sized, fitted, and purchased by TEDS, and must be ordered by January 1. A deposit of $65/costume (i.e. one costume per class performing in the recital) will be due November 1. Most costumes cost more than $65, so a balance of approximately $25-$50/costume will be due when you pick them up in April/May.
Recital Fee (due March 1)
$75-$100/dancer; $150 family maximum.
The recital fee helps to cover the costs of mounting our performances, including theatre rental, Babson facilities and security staff, TEDS professional stage management and lighting crew, and myriad others. (Does not replace ticket costs.)
We encourage all students to embrace the recital experience and give their best during the recital. It is a rewarding experience that celebrates their growth as dancers and individuals. We appreciate your support in ensuring your child's participation in the recital, as it is a significant milestone in their dance education.
