A few of our dances in this years' concert are using hire costumes. If this applies to your dancer, an email will be sent to you with all the details.
HAIR
For our Big Kid dancers with long hair, dancers will need to have hair in a bun*
See our video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5Cujw875zc
You can purchase hair kits with all the bits and bobs you need from reception.
If your dancer has short hair, they should style it as suits them, or you can discuss with your child's teacher. Boys should style their hair as suits them.
*If your dancer is ONLY in hip hop, they can wear their hair in a neat ponytail
MAKEUP
We know our "big kids" love the whole stage experience, including their stage makeup! You can purchase makeup kits with everything you need (excluding foundation) at reception
(If your dancer identifies as male or does not want to wear stage makeup, they do not need to wear it).
Please note we wear RED lipstick. View the PDF below for stage makeup tips!
FAQ BIG KIDS CONCERT
Due to restrictions in place by the Sleeman Centre, we can't have parents or family members watching on rehearsal day. It makes Concert Day even more exciting!
To make life easy, we will include a deposit on your term 3 invoice ($69 for one dance, $99 for two dances, $129 for three or more dances). The balance of the concert package will be due with your Term 4 invoice. Don't forget we offer the option of fortnightly payments via Integrapay. Is your dancer in lots of classes? We are happy to help spread your concert participation and costume payments over Terms 3 and 4. Email us at hello@baysidedance.com.au for more info.
We believe the concert experience helps build self-esteem and confidence. The rehearsal process is a tremendous learning experience as well. It helps dancers develop retention skills, and by working with their classmates on a group performance, they learn the positive aspects of working as a team to create the best end result. If you don't wish to participate, please email us at hello@baysidedance.com.au to have it removed from your Term 3 invoice prior to the invoice due date.
Payment of the deposit is confirmation that your dancer will be taking part in the concert. Please note that because of ordering timelines, we are not able to refund your Concert Package if you change your mind.
Everyone in your group, including children (babies under 1 included). There must be a seat available for every human in the theatre. Kids under 2 years old are free. You do not need to purchase a ticket for your dancer for the big kids show as dancers will remain backstage.
If your dancer is unwell on the day, they should not attend. If this is the case, please email us and we'll arrange a refund of your tickets purchased (we cannot refund the Concert Package).
Yes! Everyone will receive a copy of the video (allow 6-8 weeks for editing). We send you the video directly via a link. Participation in the concert means you agree for your dancer to be filmed and photographed.
We'll be in touch with families who have dancers split across multiple age groups to let you know how we can assist.
