Information coming soon!

Dancers are asked to stay until the end to participate in the Grand Finale! Also, dancers and their families are asked to stay for the whole recital in order to cheer on each and every dancer who has worked hard all season for their chance to perform. If everyone left when they were finished performing, there wouldn't be an audience left for the dancers who are performing towards the end of the show.

We strongly encourage dancers to wear makeup that enhances their features (eyeliner, eyeshadow, blush & lipstick). The purpose of makeup is to enhance the performer's features so that audience members can see from a distance. Natural shades are best. If you need help with makeup, please email us at info@ohanaperformingarts.com.

Pictures and video are allowed at dress rehearsal ONLY. Photography and videography is strictly prohibited during the performance, as we will have a professional company recording the show and capturing still photos. We ask that you adhere to this policy out of respect for the professional artists and Ohana.

You will be able to pre-order a digital file of both of the 8th Annual Performance Showcases.

We will explain this in more detail at dress rehearsal. We will be calling routines backstage 5 at a time. When your dancer's routine is called, you will walk them backstage to Ohana staff. They will stay backstage and you will be able to return to your seat. If your dancer is nervous and not ready to come backstage with you, you are more than welcome to stay with them! Once their routine is finished, we will hold your dancer backstage with us and you will come back to get them. It is VERY important that parents and dancers are paying attention to the line-ups. We will be making announcements, but it is also your responsibility to be aware of when you/your dancer is performing.
