Dance recitals are truly magical events where budding artists find their dancing legs and showcase their talents. As a parent, there's nothing more thrilling than watching your child perform in public! And you can preserve the magic of this watershed moment in your child's life through the power of video.

We're proud to be the premier company for dance recital videography, consistently receiving favorable comments from our participants. We pride ourselves on delivering excellent quality videos and providing excellent customer service. Our talented team of individuals is passionate about capturing the essence of your child's performance and preserving it forever.

Our Digital Downloads offer brighter pictures, crisp and clear sound, and well-lit images even when the stage isn't so well-lit. And in this century, we believe it's time for a change in the way we deliver videos. The new format is called "streaming," much like Netflix and Hulu. This means you can watch the video on a phone or portable device, or download it to your computer. The files will play on both Mac and personal computers, and the quality is much better than on DVDs.

Imagine sitting expectantly at your child's dance recital, anxiously waiting for the moment they dance onto the stage. You nervously finger your camera, waiting for that precise moment when your child moves to the front of the stage. And then, the tall guy in front stands up and blocks your view! All your video picks up is little Sally's right arm and a quick glimpse of the smile you love so much. Well, maybe next year.

Let Chicago Star Productions handle the video for better results and fewer distractions. We've been videotaping dance recitals since 2000, and we plan, set up sales structure, shoot, and edit dance recitals, drama club presentations, or other school events. We finish the event in Digital Downloads format, which we send to you along with a link and password.

We offer two options:

Option 1: We request a minimum number of digital downloads to cover our expenses, and if that number is not met with the orders we take, then the client makes up the price difference. We also offer a link to our sales page so that you can promote the video for your event. The package includes 1 to 2 video cameras, which are edited together with titles, and different microphones blend in for sound. The product is available for digital download and streaming on portable devices, and you'll receive an email containing the link and password.

Option 2: The best way to sell the video is to include the actual video production in the price of your "sign-up" fee or "dress" fee. This way, every family receives an electronic copy of the show, which they can download to their computer or stream on a portable device. Call us to find out the price per dancer for your upcoming show. We film each dance recital with one or two cameras, mic the stage to hear the tap dancers loud and clear or take it from the soundboard. We deliver the Digital Downloads within 14 business days or sooner. We edit the title of each dance routine and cut out the time between each dance number.

If you're interested in having your dance recital captured on video, please email us. All your efforts, the choreography, and the costumes come alive in a magical, polished dance video - almost as good as being there. Some say it's even better because the view is better than the one they had sitting behind the tall guy! And you'll love the sound, too. Our microphones eliminate unwanted background noises, and music comes through clearly.
