RECITAL PICTURES
APRIL 13 - 18 Friendswood/Annex Location Picture Week
APRIL 20 -25 Pearland Location Picture Week
Recital pictures will be taken around the normal time of your dancer's regularly scheduled class time. In order to disrupt the least amount of class time, we will ONLY be taking photos during picture week and no class instruction will take place, just photos.
Dancers are expected to arrive to class promptly based on the Picture Week Schedule below in full recital attire including costume, tights, shoes, hair and makeup. During class, each dancer participating in recital will have their individual and class picture taken.
Dancers who are not participating in Recital are encouraged to miss class this week as we will not have instruction time.
Every dancer will receive 1 FREE digital photo download per recital class. See below for details on how to access!
ACCESSING YOUR PHOTOS
YOUR PHOTO GALLERY: After the conclusion of Picture Weeks, you will receive an email from Chara with a link to your photo gallery(ies) for each recital class your child(ren) are enrolled in (this excludes Company Classes). Folders are listed in alphabetical order by last name. You will open the gallery folder, select the digital download you want and add to cart.
