Please come dressed and ready to perform in their first costume. Each class will have a designated area in the auditorium to sit during dress rehearsal. One of our staff members will come to collect the class prior to their performance time. Please make sure to have your child ready to go on stage in the designated area at that time.

  • There is absolutely NO food or drink allowed in the auditorium.
  • You may eat in the lobby.
  • Please supervise children at all times!

The Rehearsal schedule is listed in a section below. Ballet/Tap classes are listed twice on the schedule. The ballet dance will be their first routine to practice.

SHOWCASE DAY

Dancers are to arrive 30 minutes prior to showtime. Upon arrival, please follow the signs and staff to the drop-off table located on the lower level. Only parents with a VIP wrist band will be permitted in the dressing area. Dancers should be dressed and ready to perform in their first routine at the time of drop off. Please have all their costumes, tights, shoes, and accessories clearly marked with your child’s name. Also, please send a bag of bobby pins and safety pins.

  1. All children must remain in their designated class dressing area. Parent Volunteers are assigned to each class. These Volunteers will escort the students to and from the stage. Parents with the VIP wrist band are permitted backstage to assist in changing their dancer’s costume. No other parent or family members will be permitted backstage for ANY reason. This is for the safety of all our students.
  2. Children will not be able to eat in or around the costumes. The Parent Volunteers will allow your child a snack in between dances & in the appropriate eating area.
  3. If packing your child a snack/drink, please only send clear liquids and non-messy snacks. (nothing chocolate, greasy, cheesy, etc.)
  4. There is no running or yelling in the theater or backstage area at any time.

We will provide parent supervision for classes backstage to allow all parents the opportunity to watch the Showcase. If you would rather stay backstage with your child during the show to help with the class, please talk to the front desk before the Showcase.

For dancers that need assistance changing costumes, we will have a specific time during the show that parents will be asked to go backstage to help change their dancer if needed. This will help minimize any disruptions while another class is performing on stage. Parents will have time to go backstage, change their dancer, and return to their seat before we continue the show.

HAIR
Dancers are permitted to wear their hair at your discretion. We would recommend putting hair up, so it does not get in the dancers’ eyes or block their face during the show. Some costumes mya have specific accessories to wear with the costumes such as a ribbon or hair clip. The teachers may recommend a certain hair style based on the dance and specific moves the dancers will perform.

MAKE-UP
Dancers are not required to wear make-up but are permitted to if their parent chooses. The studio does not provide any make-up. All Make-up should be applied prior to dropping your dancer off backstage. The room helpers are not responsible for applying or re-applying make-up.

After the show, parents with a VIP wrist band will be permitted backstage to pick up their dancer. Children will not be able to leave until a parent/guardian is there to pick them up. Please make sure that you gather all of your child’s belongings before exiting the backstage area.

We have a professional videographer and photographer filming the showcase as part of our Media Package. The media package is included as part of the “Performance Package” at no extra cost for those families participating.
