Our annual recital is fast approaching, and we're thrilled to share some exciting details with you!  This year, we're paying tribute to the magical world of cinema with our recital theme, Cinema Celebration! We believe this theme will inspire our dancers and create a vibrant and engaging show for our audience.

What to expect from our Cinema Celebration theme
The Cinema Celebration theme opens up a world of creative possibilities for our dancers. They might interpret their favorite movies, create original stories inspired by films, or pay homage to iconic movie scenes. The theme encourages our dancers to express their creativity and storytelling skills while showcasing their dance technique.

Dress Rehearsals at the Theater
Before the big day, we will be having dress rehearsals at the Patriots Theater itself. These are crucial for our dancers to get comfortable with the stage and perform in the actual setting. The dress rehearsals will take place from June 3rd through June 6th. We will announce the specific schedule for each class in the coming months.

Why are dress rehearsals important?
Dress rehearsals help dancers familiarize themselves with the theater's layout, stage size, and lighting. This firsthand experience can boost their confidence and reduce anxiety on the day of the recital. During these rehearsals, instructors and dance mentors will also make final adjustments to choreography and provide valuable feedback to the dancers.

Preparations are underway, and more details are coming soon
We're currently working hard behind the scenes to finalize the recital show times, individual class dress rehearsal dates, and other important details. We understand how important these specifics are for your planning, so we'll share them as soon as they're available within the coming months.  We're excited about this year's recital and can't wait to share this magical journey with our dancers and their families. If you have any questions in the meantime, please don't hesitate to reach out to us.

A Brief History of Dance Factory Recitals
Since our inception in 2003, Dance Factory has been crafting enchanting theatrical experiences for our dancers and audiences alike. Each year, we meticulously select a captivating theme that ignites the imagination, fosters creativity, and showcases the diverse talents of our students. Our recitals are not mere performances; they are intricate tapestries woven with selections from our youngest preschoolers, our dedicated intermediate students, and our advanced teens, culminating in high-energy production numbers that leave audiences spellbound.

The Magic of Storytelling Through Dance
Our recitals are not just dance routines; they are narratives brought to life. Each piece tells a story, evoking emotions and transporting audiences to different worlds. Innovative music selections, coupled with our staff's original choreography, create a symphony of movement that resonates with the soul. The stage becomes a canvas upon which our dancers paint vivid tales with their steps.

A Venue Fit for Royalty
Our annual recitals are held at the prestigious Patriots Theater at the War Memorial in Trenton, NJ. This magnificent venue boasts an impressive 1,800 seats and has been recognized as a historic landmark since 1986. The theater's grandeur is evident in its opulent decor, reminiscent of old Hollywood glamour. Its vast stage provides ample space for our dancers to showcase their skills and our production crew to create breathtaking set pieces and backdrops. The War Memorial is more than just a venue; it is a partner in our pursuit to provide our dancers with the best possible platform to shine.

Ease of Accessibility
We understand that a memorable experience begins even before the curtain rises. To ensure this, we have chosen a venue that is easily accessible. Free parking is available in the lot directly across the street, making your visit to the theater hassle-free.
