Recital Day

Recital Day! Saturday, June 17, 2023

Show 1 - 10:00 AM, Show 2 - 1:30 PM, Show 3 - 5:00 PM

We are excited to be back in our home theater, Cape Cod Community College, for our 40th year.

On recital day please arrive with your dancer dressed and ready (makeup and hair done) for their first routine 30 minutes prior to showtime. Please have one parent/guardian report to the dressing rooms with their dancer on arrival. This is where you will check in your dancers and receive your wristband. Only the parent/guardian with the wristband will be able to go in the dressing room. Each show will have a different color. If your child is in more than one show you will need to check in again.

All dancers will check in downstairs at the same check in station and will be directed to the dressing room area for their age group. All dancers 5+ will stay in the dressings throughout the whole show and an adult will be assigned to stay with them at all times. Preschool classes are allowed to sit with your family in the audience, no tickets needed if sitting on a lap. Specific instructions are given out to preschool families at dress rehearsal. Those instructions will also be emailed out the week of recital. Please wear a big cover up over costumes at all times except when back stage. All other students must remain backstage at all times during the show. Parents will not be allowed backstage during the show. Please do not leave any personal items in the dressing rooms. We will not be responsible for any lost or stolen items.

Auditorium Rules: Seating in the theater is assigned through our ticket sales. Doors will open 30 minutes prior to show time. Please make sure you are sitting in your assigned seat. Please use theater etiquette when in the theater watching the show. (No repeated yelling or getting up out of your seats while the students are dancing. No food, drinks, candy or gum will be permitted in the auditorium. We are fortunate to be in such a beautiful facility, let's be considerate and respect their rules. Please supervise young children - no running in the auditorium, lobby area, etc. No strollers allowed in the theater during the show. Please remember to only leave the theater in between dances, as it can be very distracting to other members of the audience and the dancers. The ushers will not open the theater doors while there are dancers performing on stage, only in between routines. We ask that you respect the ushers and wait until they open the door for you. Please go directly to your seat when entering the theater. No leaning against the wall as it is a fire hazard and our show can be stopped or shut down by the fire marshal.

*No one is permitted backstage except CSDA staff, and performers.

*Please remember our policy of NO VIDEOTAPING OR PHOTOGRAPHY at the recital. You may video and take pictures at the dress rehearsal. The “no video & picture-policy” protects our choreography and other copyrights and protects our dancers as we are in a public venue. There will be no exceptions! No Cell phones, Kindles, Ipads or video games are allowed in the theater as they are very distracting to audience members who are enjoying the show.
