Dance Recital

2026 News

Dance Recital 2026: 

"MSCD: Legendary" is Saturday, May 16th & Sunday, May 17th @ Marshfield High School.

Have you checked the list to see which show(s) your dancer will perform in? There is a copy on the wall in the hallway across from the bulletin board, or access it here:



  • Costumes:

Pictures of the costumes are located on the main bulletin board. The picture for each class also includes any other needs (tights, hair requirements, etc.) Please be sure to check the board for those details. 


  • Tickets: 

Tickets to our annual Dance Recital are sold lottery style. The week of March 23rd, your dancer will receive a "Dance Recital Packet" in class, which will include a Ticket Request Form. This form should be filled out and returned to the office, with ticket payment, by Monday, April 13th. (Tickets are $10 each) 

Each family is allowed up to six tickets for their priority show. We then draw ticket requests from a box and fill seats front to back. Families that fail to return their "Ticket Request Form" on time cannot be guaranteed their full ticket request. Please return your form by April 13th. Tickets can be picked up beginning Monday, April 27th.


  • Video Recording:

We encourage our students to practice their recital dance(s) at home. Once your child's class has finished learning their recital dance, you are welcome to video the dance for use with home practice. The instructor will let you know when the class is ready for filming. 


  • Volunteers:

We rely on volunteer dance parents to help keep our backstage area safe and organized during recital weekend. (It takes around 200 volunteers for the weekend.) Please consider helping us during one show that weekend. It's a great way to meet other dance parents & be more involved in something your dancer loves! Sign up forms will be in your "Recital Information Packet"


We realize recital time comes with a lot of information, so if you have questions, PLEASE stop at the desk. We are always happy to answer your questions!

The purpose of MSCD's Jazz Dance Company is to offer our dancers more performance opportunities throughout the year, while sharing our love of dance with the community.


Dancers going into grades 3+ are eligible to audition. Company dancers begin their season with summer rehearsals (late-May through July). During the school year Company Dancers are required to take ballet, jazz, and Jazz Company class (Fridays 3:30-5:00pm).


Jazz Company performs for area events like the Central WI State Fair, Marshfield Maple Fest, Alpine Holiday, Dairyfest, Hub City Days, etc., as well as dancing at local assisted living homes.


Auditions will take place on Saturday, April 25th.

Junior Company (grade 3+) 10:00-11:15am

Senior Company (grade 7+) 11:15-12:30pm


More information will be available in March. Please stop at the desk if you have questions. Sign-up will be posted in the entrance hallway after Spring Break.


Classical Ballet Program (C.B.P.)

Auditions

Ballet students entering grades 3+ in 2026-27, with a desire to study ballet at a more in-depth level, are invited to audition for acceptance into our Classical Ballet Program on Saturday, April 11 from 9:00-10:00am.


Students in the Classical Ballet Programs study year round, with a Summer Program featuring class 2x per week, and school year classes 2x per week (Level 1 & 2) or 3x per week (Level 3-5). CBP students also have the option to participate in MSCD's "The Nutcracker".


For more information regarding the Classical Ballet Program, please speak with the office. Instructors will also be sending recommendations to ballet students who they feel would benefit from this program. Sign-up @ the desk.

Exciting Job Opportunity!

MSCD is gearing up for the new school year and we're on the hunt for enthusiastic office staff to join us beginning in late August 2026! If you or someone you know would love a part-time, flexible afternoon/evening position with a friendly team, don’t miss out—this could be the perfect fit. Make your afternoons and evenings count with meaningful work and great people!


As always, we thank you for allowing us the opportunity to share the art of dance with your children! We LOVE what we do!
