Yes! All of our regular studio classes with the exception of Baby Ballet, Toddlers & Tutus, and specific technique-only classes will perform in the show. This is such an exciting opportunity for our dancers to be involved in this holiday tradition!
We work on all choreography they need to know for the show in their regular weekly classes.
There are a few extra days we will work with your child to make sure they are show ready:
On November 5-6, each of our classes will have an assigned block of time to work on their choreography, receive show spacing, and be fitted for their costume.
COSTUMING AND REHEARSAL SCHEDULE
Dress Rehearsal will take place on stage on the day of the show. Your child will be assigned a time block based on their role and will not need to be there for the full rehearsal. They will run through their dance once on stage and be free to go. Only Foundations dancers attend the on stage rehearsal - First Steps dancers will do their rehearsals in class.
We will have two performances: an evening show on November 19 and a matinee on November 20.
Will my dancer be in more than one performance?
Some classes will be assigned to perform in one show, while others may be performing in both. In order to keep the show a reasonable length, not every dancer can perform in both shows, but you will receive a detailed cast list so you know which show(s) your child will perform in. CLICK HERE for the Cast Lists.
The production fee is a flat fee of $65 per dancer regardless of how many dances your dancer is in. This production fee helps offset some of the enormous costs for the production including extra rehearsal time, staffing, renting the venue, purchasing music, music editing, costuming, backdrop rental, lighting design, set design, props, scenery, and more! This fee will be invoiced to your account with October tuition and paid via our automatic processing system along with your monthly tuition.
If your dancer can not participate, please let us know you are opting out of the show before October 5th.
No. Costume rental is included within the production fee. A costume will be provided for your child to wear, but it remains the property of the studio. It must be returned in proper condition or a replacement charge will be assessed to your account. You may be asked to provide certain "extras" or accessories for a costume and all dancers are responsible for providing the correct tights and shoes based on their role.
We recommend you only purchase tights from our studio store. We require all of our dancers to match exactly on stage, and often tights purchased elsewhere are different shades. Simply contact us at info@allthatdancecompany.com or talk with our reception staff when you bring your dancer to class. Purchase your tights early as we may run out of some sizes as we near the date of the event.
All ticket sales go directly through the Hult Center. Tickets may be purchased online or in person at the box office.
No. Your dancer will be backstage during the show. However, if you have a dancer who is only performing during one of our two Acts, you may decide to purchase them a ticket to watch the other Act from their own seat, First Steps dancers will be issued a complimentary lap pass and they can lap sit at no extra expense during the act that they are not performing. Please pick up a lap pass from the check-in table at the venue prior to the start of the show.
No, for the safety of all of our dancers, parents are not allowed in the backstage area. You should drop off your dancer one hour before the beginning of the performance at the check-in table with all of their costumes and accessories for the show. Only approved volunteers are allowed backstage, but if you would like to volunteer, we would love to have you. Just complete our volunteer form to become an approved show volunteer. Our team of volunteers will ensure dancers are set up with their peers backstage and are ready to hit the stage for their performances!
We do not allow dancers to leave the backstage area during the performance. If your dancer is only in Act 1, you may pick him or her up from the check-in table during intermission. Otherwise, you should arrive at the check-in table following the conclusion of the performance to pick up your child. To keep crowds at a minimum, please send only one parent to the check-in/pick-up area.
