Recital Procedures

Please arrive at least 15 minutes prior to showtime and NO MORE than 20 minutes prior.  We run shows back to back and our staff will not be ready for each group of performers more than 20 minutes prior.

As always, the safety of our dance family is our #1 priority. When students arrive at the recital, they are to be dropped off near the dressing room area by one adult. And when the recital is over, they are to be picked up by one adult as to not make the backstage any more congested. Parents, in order to keep things organized we ask that you fill out the contact information form for each child that is dancing in our show. This will ensure we can get ahold of a parent or guardian backstage if needed. You can find the link below.

This process does take a few minutes and we very much appreciate your patience at pick up while we confirm that dancers make it out of the dressing rooms safely.  

Please try not to have your dancers bring anything valuable, especially electronic devices. Our studio and the venue will take no responsibility if an item is damaged, misplaced, lost or stolen.

ALL students (yes, even teenagers!) are to check in and have their name marked off when they arrive at the venue. If your child has any medical conditions that may require attention whilst in our care or are carrying any medication with them, please notify our supervisors when you sign in. All medication (EPI Pens, inhalers, etc) should be clearly labeled and given to our supervisors.

'Many hands make light work' and the recital takes MANY hands! Would you consider volunteering to help out? Remember that if you work backstage you will be able to watch from the audience when its time for your dancer! 

Recital Tips

• Please arrive with hair and makeup done and in a leotard and tights with black bottoms (shorts, leggings, etc.) 

• Label EVERYTHING - costumes, shoes, accessories (ziplock bags are great for this)

• Sending a bag with extra hair spray, gel, hair ties and bobby pins, safety pins, lipstick, and any other cosmetic items is helpful.

• Label EVERYTHING - socks, tights, recital shirt

• For students with multiple costumes we HIGHLY suggest a small laundry basket to drop all used costumes in.  This will make it easier for you to collect belongings at the end of the show and your dancer will have ease and speed of changing costumes when they don’t have to worry about hanging used garments.  

• Label EVERYTHING - basket, leo and black bottoms that they come dressed in

• The shows are short, but if you think dancers need snacks with them please be sure to pick snacks that won't leave residue (pretzels, Cheerios, etc.) and be sure to send water only. All other drinks will be dumped out. Please be sure to pick water bottles that are as spill proof as possible.

• Label EVERYTHING - water bottle, garment bag, toys to entertain kids
