RECITAL DAY

All Dancers need to be in their dressing rooms at 10:30 am for the 11:00 am show /2:00 pm for the 2:30 pm show / 5:30 pm for the 6:00 pm show! The auditorium will open 45 minutes before the show. PLEASE don’t save seats.  We need to allow time for dancers to clear out of the dressing rooms from the first show. You will not be able to get into your dressing room until everyone from the previous show has exited.

Come dressed in your first costume with hair and makeup ready to go!! Please talk with your child’s teacher about specifics for hair. Dressing rooms will be labeled for each class with a picture of their costume.  All Preschool and Kindergarten classes will be in one area. Please label all of your things to make it easier to keep track. We recommend you come and dress your child between dances.

Each show will be about 2 hours & 15 minutes, so please bring coloring books, small games, etc. (nothing messy that could ruin costumes) for your child to have in their dressing rooms.  Also, PLEASE take dancers to the restroom before dropping them off and between dances! 

All classes will take a bow in the Finale.  Dancers will need to be picked up in their dressing room immediately following the Finale. Due to limited dressing room space, please send one person to the dressing room to pick up your child and plan on meeting your family in the lobby for pictures, etc. 

Reminders and Helpful Hints!!

-ALL jazz and tap classes will wear tan tights and all ballet classes wear pink.  Make sure you have the right color of shoes! (black tap, pink ballet and tan jazz)

-NO panties under tights! (unless you have one in a pullup….then please, go ahead!) No jewelry! (unless it’s part of the costume!)

-PLEASE layer their tights if they are in more than one dance (i.e. If their tap dance is first, put their pink tights on UNDER their tan ones).
