FINALE ROUTINE 2023
What is Finale?
Finale is the last dance routine of the recital that closes out the show.
This is an opportunity for all dancers participating in recital in pre-dance and higher to
have an additional dance in the recital without having to do an extra class. This is optional but a lot of fun and the only way to get a commemorative MKDS recital tshirt.
Registration is now open to sign up and will close on Saturday 4/1.

We are so excited to be offering finale similar to the past 2 years!
Open to all dancers enrolled in Pre-Dance classes and higher.
We will post choreography break down videos in the parent portal by Saturday 4/15.
Dancers should start learning and practicing the dance right away.
We will hold 1 in studio rehearsal prior to filming. IMPORTANT: At the rehearsal, we will be going over what they have already learned from the videos. So it is important that they come prepared to the rehearsal, as we will NOT be teaching choreography.
On Saturday 5/20 we will hold the in studio rehearsal. It will be after 2:30pm. Exact time will be determined when we know how many dancers and age group break downs.
On Sunday 5/21 we will film the video. Exact location and filming times will be determined based on number of dancers who register per age group. Each age group will only have to be at filming for roughly 45 minutes to 1 hour.
We will then have the recording edited and will play the special video to close out the recital.
Cost is a one time fee of $36 and includes the Recital Tshirt, rehearsal and filming.
Once you register in the parent portal, you will receive a confirmation email that includes a link to a survey to submit the tshirt size for your dancer(s).
Important Finale Dates:
Saturday 4/1 - Last day to sign up and last day to submit t-shirt size via survey.
Saturday 4/15 - Choreography Videos will be available in the parent portal to learn the dance.

Once you log in, click the online store (shopping cart icon) and just select the recital tights options and select sizing and how many pairs you would like to buy.

DANCERS IN CREATIVE MOVEMENT 2, PRE-DANCE and PRE-DANCE 2 CLASSES, THURSDAY BEGINNER HIP HOP
Dancers in our Creative Movement 2, Pre-Dance and Pre-Dance 2 and Thursday Beginner Hip Hop classes will be seated in the audience with their family for the entire show. They will never go backstage. When it is time for their dance, we will call them up to the stage and have a parent get them from the stage at the conclusion of their dance. You WILL need to include them when purchasing your tickets so their seat is with you. However, there will not be a charge for their seat. You will receive a unique coupon code that will deduct the cost of how many dancers you have in your family who have to sit in the audience. A separate email will come closer to ticket sale date with full details.
DANCERS IN ALL OTHER CLASSES (Level 1/Beginner and higher)
All dancers will stay backstage for the entirety of the show. Only 1 person will be allowed to bring them backstage before the show starts. Dancer should be dropped off as quickly as possible. Dancers will not be released until the conclusion of the show. If you have a dancer backstage, after the show is done, we ask for only 1 parent to wait in the theater in their seat. We will be bringing the backstage kids out to the theater a few at a time to the 1 person waiting for them to make sure they connect with their person safely.
