The backstage staff will make sure all dancers are safe and organized. Please drop-off and pick up your dancer in the hallway of Heritage Hall side of Civic Center. We will bring dancers out as quickly as possible. Please know if we are running a bit over…it is because we are working hard to create an awesome performanceJ! Thank you for being so patient.

Recital Do’s and Don’ts
Please:
- Wear pink tights with your costume unless otherwise notified.
- Arrive at least 30 minutes before rehearsals and recital.
- Make sure your dancers name is on EVERYTHING and all shoes and costumes are placed in a plastic/easy to carry recital box (sample at studio) with name visible.
- Pull hair up and off dancer’s face. Do not wear hair accessories (that can be seen) unless they are a part of the costume.
- Wear a small amount of blush and lipstick.
- Make sure all shoes fit well BEFORE dress rehearsals begin.
- Wait until the entire show is over before giving your dancer his/her flowers or gifts. This will ensure all dancers their final bow and applause they deserve.
- Submit any constructive criticism or positive feedback. We are always working to make things better for you and your children.
Please Do Not:
- Do not wear jewelry unless part of your costume!
- Do not wear underwear with your costume. They like to play “peek-a-boo” on stage!
- Do not attempt to enter back stage during intermission or during the show.
Please Remember:
- Remember: No one is allowed back stage except back stage staff
- Remember: No video taping or photography are allowed during the recital. Inform your guest of this important request.
- Remember to turn off all pagers and cell phones before the recital begins.
- Remember to encourage and offer POSITIVE comments to your dancer. The positive comments we offer to them today will make them stronger in the future!
As always, questions are welcome and appreciated!
Please, please, please advise if you find a mistake or oversight!
Many thanks for the opportunity to teach your child(ren)...They are a blessing!
