Photo Day

We're excited to announce our upcoming Dance Picture Day on Sunday, April 26th at the Dance Company Conservatory with O'Hare Photography! This year, we're offering a special opportunity for parents to pre-register and guarantee their child's spot, ensuring a smoother experience for everyone. Register prior to April 20th to secure your spot (picture schedule will be released by April 22nd).


How It Works:

  • Sign Up & Pay Ahead: Parents will register their child and pay in advance for their photo session.
  • Pre-scheduled Time Slots: Once registration is complete, you'll receive a scheduled time for your dancer's photo session.
  • No Waiting, Just Smiles!: With everyone pre-registered, we'll move through the sessions smoothly and quickly, so your dancer spends less time waiting and more time smiling!
  • More Poses: Dancers will have more options for poses during their session!

  • 1 Outfit: Included in all packages
  • Additional Outfit Changes: $15 per additional routine/costume. (This includes an additional 10-minute session to capture each look.)


Spots are limited, so don't wait—register today!

We look forward to capturing your dancer's beautiful moments!

Recital Policies

  • Dancers should be picked up from the dressing room at either intermission or end of show. We do not release dancers while the show is in progress.
  • No camera use is permitted in any dressing room space. 
  • Only water and mess-free snacks are allowed in the dressing room. Water bottles should be labeled with your name. 


Audience
