This will be the same concept as our Daddy/Daughter Dance but allows Moms, Grandparents or a special adult to dance with your dancer. This dance will take place prior to each Recital. Your child will be assigned which recital they are performing in with their adult. We will make sure your child dances during their assigned recital.  Rehearsal will be held select Tuesdays, Fridays evenings or Saturday mornings starting in late January. A schedule of which days/time you need to attend will be out in January. Cost is $205 and includes costume and special “dance with me” shirts. If you have a costume that fits from last year, please email the office and we can remove the $50 Twinkle Stars/$60 Show Stars costume fee.  Register online at: https://app.thestudiodirector.com/bcdiscoveriesdanceth/portal.sd?page=Login (Click Workshops 2024-2025, May 2025, Dance With Me) Twinkle Star Recital (Ages 2-5)  Villa Joseph Marie High School May 4th 9:30am & 11:30am A list of what classes are in each recital will be sent in January.
