“Put on Your Sunday Clothes” and we’ll head to
“42nd Street” so we can “Give [Our] Regards to Broadway!”
Hello, Broadway!
As you can all imagine, this has been a difficult time for the staff of Mongan Dance Academy, both emotionally and administratively. We have not been able to plan in advance like usual for the recital, Summer Session, nor even Fall Session due to the coronavirus pandemic. Out of safety for our students and families, and in accordance with the State of Illinois COVID-19 Phase-In policies, our recital will not be performed in an auditorium with 600 guests and several classes of children waiting backstage to perform.
Therefore, we have made two alternative plans for performing the dances. Regardless of which plan we use, each class will be professionally recorded and the videos will be pieced together so we have a very special, unique showcase of Hello, Broadway!

2020 Recital Participation Form
2020 Recital Participation Information
PARTICIPATION
All students who are enrolled in the 2020 Winter and Spring Sessions can participate in our annual recital. It is an opportunity for students to showcase what they have been learning throughout the year. By performing, the children not only gain confidence and poise, but their appreciation for the performing arts grows immensley.
Students are not required to participate in the recital, but they are encouraged. We understand, however, that there may be important events that families are already committed to. Therefore, children can still enroll in classes and learn everything being taught, including the choreography, so they continue to progress with their classmates. It is important to note that MDA does not spend the entire classtime teaching recital choreography.
Students in combination classes (Pre-Ballet/Tap 2 and 3) will perform TWO dances, a ballet and a tap dance. All other classes will perform ONE dance. We will have three performances. All Pre-Ballet level classes will perform in ONE show only. The upper level classes will perform in the 11:20 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. shows. Our Academy Performing Troupe will perform in the 4:30 p.m. show.
