Attendance is vital in creating confident dancers. Make sure your dancer attends all classes leading up to the recital because we want them to feel their absolute best when they hit the stage.

Costumes will continue to be sent home over the next several weeks. Please be on the lookout for your child’s costume(s) and be sure to hang them up in a safe place as soon as you get them home. We have steamed most costumes but yours may require a refresh before recital. Your child’s teacher will be communicating any and all costume accessories that you will need to gather and/or supply (shoes, hair bows, gloves, socks, tights, undergarments, alterations, props, etc).

SHOES, HAIR, TIGHTS LINK COMING SOON

Dancers will need a fresh pair of dance tights to wear with their recital costume(s). We require our dancers to wear the Balera brand tights. These can be purchased at the front desk in the studio in May. Please purchase the size, style (footed/stirrup), and color your dancer needs according to their class(es):

All Ballet Classes - Balera Tights in Pink
Most Jazz, Tap, Kinder and some Hip Hop Classes - Balera Tights to match skin tone

Tights should be purchased prior to dress rehearsals and show week, and worn with your costume for pictures, stage rehearsal, and all shows.

SHOES, HAIR, TIGHTS LINK COMING SOON

Stage lighting can wash out performers' faces and for that reason (plus it’s fun) we recommend that dancers wear stage makeup. Blush, neutral eye shadows, mascara and lipstick are all fantastic choices for the stage. Hairstyles vary per class. Your child’s teacher will be communicating the hair style for your class. Dress rehearsal is the perfect time to practice your makeup and hair. Dress rehearsals are June 2nd-7th Make-up and Hair is also required for pictures and stage rehearsal on June 9th and 10th.

SHOES, HAIR, TIGHTS LINK COMING SOON

DRESS REHEARSAL @THE DANCE PROJECT JUNE 2-7

We will be having a dress rehearsal the week of June 2-7th during regularly scheduled class hours at The Dance Project. Please arrive to class in your costume BUT bring dance clothes with you to change into. Sometimes costumes are itchy and we may have the dancers change out of the costume and into regular dance clothes to continue rehearsal. Please have ALL costume pieces with you at dress rehearsal, which includes: tights, appropriate undergarments, shoes, socks, shoe bows, hair accessories, gloves, any alterations, and props. Remember this is the perfect time to practice your hair and make up and to make sure you have all your costumes and accessories ready.

MONDAY, JUNE 9TH and TUESDAY, JUNE 10TH

@THE VISTA CENTER FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS

SCHEDULE LINK

Dancers need to arrive 15 minutes prior to their allotted rehearsal time IN COSTUME, with makeup and hair ready.

At this rehearsal, dancers will become familiar with the stage, entrances/exits, and dressing rooms ensuring that they are comfortable and confident for performance day. Dancers, please arrive in your recital costume, hair and makeup stage ready and with all necessary accessories and dance shoes. Upon arrival, dancers and parents can find a seat in the audience. Classes will be called to the stage one at a time. If your dancer is in more than one class, there is a dressing room backstage for costume changes. Kids in multiple classes are welcome to pack snacks, and bring something quiet to entertain themselves with since they will be hanging out with us for a while. Rehearsal time slots are currently TBA. Immediately after their tech rehearsal, dancers will be escorted by a staff member to go take recital pictures.

Dance Recital Pictures will immediately follow your class’s stage rehearsal at The Vista. Please note that while dancers are having their pictures taken, parents/guardians will be taken on a guided tour to learn where to drop off and pick up their dancing stars. All dancers will take a class photo (there is no charge to be in the group photo).

We could not pull off these amazing end of the year shows without the help of our wonderful parent volunteers. We would be so appreciative if you would be willing to volunteer to help! We are specifically looking for class moms to help chaperone each class backstage. Class mom duties include checking in/out dancers, assisting with shoe/hair/costume changes, getting dancer’s lined up and ready to go on stage, monitoring backstage downtime. If you would like to sign up please see/call Randi or Jori at the front desk.
