Mark your calendars! TDA Picture Week is May 12th–May 15th!

We’re excited to have Andrés from Colorful Captures back again this year capturing both individual and group photos of our dancers! 💛

To help everything run smoothly, please have dancers:
✨ Arrive picture-ready (hair & makeup done)
✨ Bring all costumes, including accessories
✨ Pack the correct tights and shoes for each class

✨ Photo Delivery
All pictures will be delivered via email with a password-protected gallery and download code—so everything is easy to access right from home!

🎁 Added Perks
When you purchase a package, you’ll receive your digital images plus free access to Black Rehearsal Photos—a fun bonus!

💃 How You Can Help
Have your dancer practice their pose at home! Older dancers often prefer action shots, while younger dancers may feel more confident with a simple, practiced pose.

📄 There’s a lot more helpful info regarding pricing, backgrounds, timing, and ordering—be sure to check out the full guide here:
