What do I bring?

• All of your costumes

• All of your required dance shoes 

• Spare stockings

• Emergency Dance Pack - spare hair ties, bobby pins, hairspray, safety pins, makeup essentials for touch ups, 

Arrival

Performers should arrive between 5.30pm and 5.45pm. 

Performers must arrive in EDS uniform only. COSTUMES SHOULD NOT BE WORN - we want to hold an element of surprise for our audience and we also don't want to risk damaging costumes so this is essential.

Body suits and stockings can be worn underneath the EDS uniform.

Hair and makeup must be done. There will not be enough time to do this once you arrive and we do not have anyone to assist in this space!

Where do I go once I arrive?

Performers should make their way to the sign in table at the backstage entrance. YOU MUST NOT enter via the main theatre doors, up the stage and then through to backstage. 

Once you have signed in, you will be directed to your allocated dressing room and set up your costume change space. It is at this point, parents can leave their performer/s in the capable hands of our Parent Helpers and EDS Teachers. 

Performers can now change into their first costume. Our Parent Helpers and EDS Teachers can assist if needed.

I am dressed and ready, now what?

Start stretching and warming up your body. Exercise your smile and get ready to perform! 

If any at stage, a performer requires their parent/carer, contact will be made via text message to the parent/carer listed on enrolment.

What happens in the Finale routine?

All students will learn this routine at the Rehearsal. 

At the show, this will be performed as a whole studio, at the very end.

Students will wear their last costume.
