Once upon a dance
This story begins with YOU. Get ready to dance through the pages of your favorite books! It’s going to be LIT-erary. Let’s write our own stories celebrating a year full of extraordinary dancing and see our graduating Seniors turn the page to start a new chapter of their lives. Time to book your tickets because Once Upon a Dance is sure to be novel. You’ll definitely want to check this out - and that’s nonfiction!
The end-of-the-year shows at Summit are one of the most exciting times of the year! It is our capstone and celebration of our students’ progress and accomplishments. Our priority is making it a fun, safe, and positive event. The memories will last a lifetime!

Tights, shoes, & hair
let's make sure our dancers are stage-ready!
COSTUME: Your dancer's costume will be sent home with them once they have been tried on in class. Please hang the costume, and store appropriately until recital.
TIGHTS: Most Summit classes will receive skin-tone tights to wear with their costume. Please verify with the link below. We encourage dancers to purchase and bring an extra pair just in case!
SHOES: Dancers should be wearing the appropriate shoes for the style of their dance. Please verify with the link below.
MAKEUP: Summit does not require makeup for performers. It is typical for stage performers to wear makeup in order for the audience to be able to clearly see their faces. Stage lights often wash out faces, which is why we recommend wearing however much your family is comfortable with.
For a minimal look (for our younger dancers) we recommend applying blush, lipstick, and mascara. For a full-stage look (for our older dancers) we recommend foundation, blush, brown/neutral eyeshadows, eyeliner, mascara (or false lashes), and lipstick.
HAIR Tiny Dancers: Choice of hairstyle that is clean and out of the face
HAIR Mini-Teen: Middle part, low ponytail (clean bun for Ballet)
