TICKETS FOR CHILDREN 2 & UNDER

Every person entering the theatre must have a ticket, including small children. Lap children are not permitted. This is DUSD policy and will be enforced.

There is no separate ticket type for young children. A discount code for children 2 and under may be requested by contacting Janet at cvpadance@gmail.com. Please include the performing dancer’s name, class, and recital performance in your email.

CREDIT YOUR DANCER

When purchasing tickets, please select/enter the name of the dancer you are attending to support at checkout. If you are there to support more than one dancer, write in both names. This helps CVPA accurately credit ticket sales to each dancer.

NO THIRD-PARTY TICKET SALES

Tickets are sold exclusively through Dance Recital Ticketing (DRT), including tickets purchased on recital day.

Do not purchase tickets through Facebook, social media, or other third-party sellers. CVPA cannot guarantee the validity of tickets purchased outside of DRT, and they may not be honored at the door.

Purchase directly through DRT to guarantee a valid ticket and reserved seat.
