"I love it that I can see my favourite dance show, from the littlest cuties to the talented seniors. I am always teary when I see them for their final dance, and I think it is strong evidence that something worthwhile is happening at this studio.

Every year I am amazed by the creativity of the choreography and the way that the dancers come together so beautifully for the last show! 

So thank you Miss Susan for bringing the world of dance to my family – I’m pretty sure that even after my kids are done that I will look forward to buying a ticket to watch the best dancers and instructors in Airdrie!"
Grateful Dance Mom

  40. FINALE—ENTIRE CAST

Recital Procedure

  • DANCER ARRIVAL TIME is 30 minutes prior to show times. All dancers must arrive in costume, hair and make up done.  Costume changes are the responsibility of the parents.

  • GIRLS WITH 4 or more costume changes, may set up their stuff in the GREEN ROOM.  They must change in there and then return to the LOBBY/MULTIPURPOSE area to wait for their next dance.  This room must be kept clean!!! NO food is allowed in this room, only water bottles.

  • BOYS CHANGING ROOM will be the first washroom downstairs (stage right).  They must change and then return to the LOBBY/MULTIPURPOSE area to wait for their next dance.

  • OTHERS NEEDING A COSTUME CHANGE will use the public washrooms in the lobby.  Parents may leave the show to come and change their dancer.  Please leave the audience after a dance has finished and return to your seat between dances.  Please be mindful of your fellow audience members.

  • DANCER'S GROUPS will be assembled in the LOBBY/MP in their designated area-Look for signs.  Dancers with more than one dance will go to their first performance group--dance-change and then go to their next performance group.  DANCERS will have access to watch the lobby's television which will be showing the performance live.

  • DANCERS--Please bring a blanket to sit on and some socks (to keep your feet warm and cover tap shoes). Personal electronics are also allowed-with the volume shut off!! We are not responsible for lost/stolen items. 

  • WATER IN PLASTIC BOTTLES and a non-messy/peanut free snack is allowed. 

  • DANCERS are not allowed to leave the building during the show.  We have supervisors in the LOBBY/MP area.  They are only allowed to leave once the show is complete.

  • ALL DANCERS will be a part of the finale.

  • CLASS MOMS are not required to be in the LOBBY/MP area during the show.  If you would like to wait with your group prior to showtime, that would be wonderful.  We have showtime supervision looked after.  Thank you for your help this season!!! It has been greatly appreciated!!

**Theatre policy is "everyone entering the theatre must have their own ticket. Includes babes in arms".

My kids love going to their dance classes. They work hard and have fun! Everyone is kind and supportive. Choreography, costumes, and music selections are age appropriate. Instruction is scaffolded so that by the end of the year, students come so far even when they are considered beginners. Amazing!

Miss Susan’s love for dance and all her students are what keep families coming back year after year. She renewed my daughters love of dance with her encouraging words, warmth, and love of dance. She continuously encourages dancers of all genres to have fun and makes them believe they are amazing no matter what their skill levels are. ADA is your studio of choice if you want your child to develop skills, friendships, and the courage to do anything they want.

Airdrie Dance Academy is a very great dance school- Miss Susan and her staff always have always put 100% into each and every dancer. They are all approachable and very kind. I enjoy the fact that my daughter gets to be a kid! With the structure and choreography of each dance - family and fun can be had. Miss Susan’s love for her students and her love for dance shines as brightly as her smile!

My daughter loved the dance classes ! Such a warm and inviting space. Despite her anxiety and shyness, she really enjoyed everything. She made new friends, sheovercame her shyness and the activities increased her mobility. As well, the recital was a beautiful first for us both, and truly was a confidence building experience ! As a momma of four, three of them boys, it was absolutely a wonderful experience ????
