dance recitals

Choreographed student performances

Dance recitals are performances where dance students showcase what they've learned, typically at the end of a course or year of instruction.

Studios and schools hold recitals for students of all ages, from toddlers to adults, often featuring elaborate costumes and choreographed routines: Her dance recital is Saturday—she's been practicing for weeks.

The atmosphere tends toward supportive rather than competitive, with proud parents filling the audience.
