2023 Spring Gala Performances- Information
MotionArts Spring Gala 2023 Performance Information
Our Spring Gala Performances will take place May 6th at 7:00pm & May 7th at 3:30pm at The Buskirk-Chumley Theater. Due to the large number of dancers enrolled this semester, there will be two different performances, one for each class. Each performance will last approximately 75 minutes. Tickets are available through the Buskirk-Chumley box office only. You do not need a ticket for your dancer since they will be seated in our balcony student section.
Performance Fee: This $25.00 fee can be paid online by April 15th and helps cover the cost of your dancer’s costume rental, theater rental, teachers, and class helpers.
Costumes: All Costumes and accessories are owned by MotionArts. Some costumes may be sent home the week before the show, and some will be distributed at the theater. Dancers should arrive at their dress rehearsal and performances ready to perform in their leotard, tights and shoes, costumes on (if applicable), hair ready. All costumes MUST BE RETURNED IMMEDIATLEY after the performances at the theater in the designated return bins. Dancers will need to provide their own leotard, tights or leggings, and shoes as required by class and listed below. Dancers ages 10+ with multiple costume changes may use the basement dressing room.
