Your child’s first dance recital is one of those milestones that can feel overwhelming for both of you—and considerably more so for the parent. Children who have been dancing happily in class for months sometimes freeze at the prospect of performing in front of an audience; parents who assumed they knew what to expect often discover the week before the recital that they have no idea what they should have done, bought, or prepared.
