Tickets:

  • Tickets will go on sale April 14, 2025 at 12:00 PM!

  • Tickets are reserved seating and there is an option to pre-register for the 2025-2026 Academic year and pre-order three rose bouquets in either red or pink. Why pre-register? Pre-registration is your indication to Monona Academy of Dance that your dancer will be returning for classes in August of 2025. As a thank you the pre-registration cost will be $50 per household instead of the $70 after June 1, 2025. Registration fees assist in covering administrative costs and help keep the overall costs of classes down. Why pre-order flowers? Convenience! On the day of the recital you can pick up the flowers post production and not have to hold onto them the entire time.

  • Everyone entering the theater must have a ticket for security and code purposes. The cost of a lap seat is $1.
