Expectations of Students & Parents

Mask Requirement For Students

  • Students will be wearing their mask backstage when they are not performing.

  • Families may choose if they would like their student to wear a mask on stage.

  • BritZa is providing 2 masks per student. They will be given in a ziplock back with their name on it. Please bring this bag with you to the recital as we will be utilizing it during the performance.

  • If you would like your child to remain masked while dancing on stage, please have them wear the black mask.

Dropping Off/Picking Up Students

  • This is a professional show and all students are expected to remain backstage during the entire performance.*

  • *Babes, Pre/K, and Kindergarten classes will be dismissed during intermission to sit with their parents for the second half of the performance.

        • These students do NOT need tickets to enter the hall after intermission. They may not, however, be in costume. The security personnel will have a list of names of these students and parents who will be picking them up in their dressing room at intermission. We ask that one female family member attend to this.

  • At the conclusion of each performance, elementary-aged students will be held in their dressing rooms until they are picked up by a female family member. Those of you who sign up to help backstage during the performance need to remain in the dressing rooms until all students have been picked up!! After the Saturday performance, all students will remain backstage until their dressing room is tidy and a BritZa staff member has checked the room and released the students. This is a team effort. Parents, please be patient.

Expectations of Students/Parents

  • NO extra hair pieces or hair accessories will be allowed. Only hair pieces that are a part of a costume will be acceptable.

  • NO nail polish will be allowed.

  • NO jewelry, including earrings, are to be worn during the performance. (Do not get your ears pierced in the next few weeks!)

  • NO cell phones are allowed backstage, or any device that can take photos!! Please help us enforce this rule for the safety of all of our students. Any device of this nature will be taken away and held by Miss Amanda until the conclusion of the performance. Zero Tolerance.

  • NO gum, candy, or pop will be allowed backstage during the performance. We do suggest bringing water bottles.

  • NO parents are allowed backstage or in dressing rooms during the show or at intermission unless you are signed up to help with a particular class or are the parent of a Babe, Pre/K, or Kindergarten student who needs to pick up a child at intermission. We feel accountable and responsible for all the students backstage and we make it a priority to have security in place at all times.

  • Flash photography photos are allowed only during dress rehearsal. No flash photography during the performances.
