2021 Recital

It's been a long, unprecedented year,

but together we can

Live  Love  Dance 

Saturday, June 12, 2021

11:00 am — 4:00 pm

The 50 Acre Park Pavilion

2701 W 91st St, Evergreen Park, IL

(Across from EPCHS Sports Complex)

 
 

This has been another difficult year for MDA staff, students, and families. But we cannot be more proud and happy for our students. They weathered Zoom and cramped dance spaces during most of winter, learned to dance with masks, and got used to a new dance location. Parents have been wonderful, especially those with young children who've never gotten to watch their children dance.

Lastly, we are still restricted on the type and location of recital we can have because of the lingering 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 on a lighted stage in an auditorium with 600 guests, and with several classes of children waiting backstage to perform. Instead, each class will perform their class dance(s) on the pavilion at The 50 Acre Park at 2701 W 91st Street in Evergreen Park. It is located right across from the EPCHS Sports Complex where our studio is located.

We will distribute a Performance Schedule of the time your child's class should arrive, wearing their costume. If he/she is in multiple classes, there will be optioins for changing costumes. Guests should be limited to immediate families and grandparents. Families should bring their own lawn chairs or blankets and sit as a group distanced six feet from other families. As of now, masks will be required of dancers and guests. All of this, and additional information, will be distributed to students.

This page will be updated as more information is available.

PERFORMANCE SCHEDULE (revised 05/14/21)

  • Performance Schedule is not necessarily the order in which classes perform during their time slot, so arrive with enough time to be ready to go at the start of the performance time slot in case your child’s class performs first.
  • Be prepared to be at the performance for an hour or less. You can leave after your child’s performance, or you can watch other classes perform. 
  • If your child is in multiple classes, he/she may have multiple performance time slots.
