Frozen
Disney animated musical
Disney's magical winter adventure featuring sisters Elsa and Anna.
About This Theme
Frozen is one of the most requested recital themes from students and parents alike. The songs are catchy, the characters are beloved, and the winter aesthetic gives you plenty of creative options for costumes and staging. What makes Frozen work particularly well for recitals is the variety of music. You have big ensemble numbers like Frozen Heart for your whole cast, comedic pieces like In Summer for character dancers, emotional solos like Let It Go for your strongest performers, and duets like Love Is an Open Door for partner work.
Every child in your studio probably knows the words to Let It Go. That built-in familiarity means your audience is engaged from the first note, and your dancers already have an emotional connection to the material. The story also offers natural dramatic arc - from the happy coronation day to Elsa's isolation to the sisters' reunion. This gives your recital shape and keeps the audience invested. Plus, the winter theme lets you create genuinely magical stage moments with the right lighting and effects.

Costume Ideas
Elsa's iconic blue dress is available from many costume suppliers, or you can create a similar look with a blue leotard, tulle skirt, and cape. Add rhinestones and sequins for her transformation moment.
Anna's look is easier to achieve - a dark bodice with a colourful skirt works well. For the winter journey, add a cape and change the colour palette to blues and purples.
Snowflakes and snow dancers look stunning in white and silver with iridescent fabrics. Trolls can wear earth-toned tunics with mossy textures. Olaf can be as simple as a white tutu with orange and black accents, or a full character costume.
Staging & Set Ideas
Frozen practically demands good lighting. Blues, purples, and white create the icy atmosphere instantly. If you have projection capability, snowfall and ice crystal patterns transform any stage.
Key set pieces: Elsa's ice palace can be suggested with a simple backdrop or fabric panels in icy blues. The castle gates work well as a frame for certain numbers. A simple mountain silhouette backdrop helps establish the journey scenes.
