Picture Days
April 17 – 18, 2026
We're excited to begin a new chapter for our studio's Picture Days! For the first time in 35 years, we are partnering with a local photographer, Sheryl Z Photography. You can view examples of her work at sherylzphotography.com. We can't wait to see our students shine as they capture beautiful photos in their costumes from this year's dance show!
How to Schedule a Photo Session
- Schedule Online – Book your session online.
- Session Duration – Schedule one session per student, per costume. Each session lasts approximately 5 minutes.
- Multiple Costumes? – If your student has more than one costume, we recommend booking back-to-back sessions to allow enough time for each look.
Picture Day Reminders
- No Dance Classes – All classes are canceled on April 17-18, 2026 for Picture Days.
- Arrive Early & Ready – Please plan to arrive a few minutes early, dressed in your first costume with shoes, hair, makeup, tights, and accessories ready to go.
- Dance Shoes – Please be sure your student has the correct dance shoes for each costume (the same ones they will wear in the Dance Show).
- Costume Guidelines – Costumes should be worn as received. Alterations for sizing are welcome, but all pieces must be included. No additional clothing or props may be used unless approved by the studio owner, Kristin Foltz Petrou.
