• Dancers need to arrive with hair and makeup done, Skin Color Leotard and tights on. Costumes/shoes ready to put on in their dressing room.

• We’d like to emphasize the importance of wearing a skin color leotard. Since our production takes place at a high school, there are security cameras throughout the building. While we are not certain of all their positions and if they are turned on, we want to ensure that students and parents feel as comfortable as possible, and that we remain respectful of the school staff and facility.

• Please discuss with your child's dance teacher to confirm which day they will be performing in the recital. Some dancers will only be performing in one show, while others will be performing both nights. Everyone will attend the same Dress Rehearsal regardless of what night you preform.

• All dancers are required to wear Suntan tights for both the dress rehearsal and the recital. If needed, please contact your dancer's teacher to request tights for $5.00.

• You should plan to arrive at least 30 minutes before the “On Stage” time listed in the below schedules on this page. Please do not arrive at the time listed below otherwise you’ll miss your rehearsal.

• Parents may sit quietly in the auditorium during rehearsal. No food or drink is allowed in the auditorium.

• Attendance at the rehearsal is required to perform in the Recital performance(s).

• We do recommend that students with white costumes or student who are in more than one dance wear a skin-colored leotard underneath their costumes; these allow for full coverage when a student needs to change quickly.

• Jewelry and bright nail polish should be removed before arriving at the venue. It will not be allowed on stage.

• Dress rehearsal presents a wonderful opportunity to capture pictures and record videos of your dancer on stage. We encourage you to take advantage of this moment so that you can fully relax and enjoy the recital itself. 

• Jennifer Van Jaarsveld of Jen Lee Photography will be taking our recital portraits this year! Portraits will be taken during dress rehearsal. She will be available starting at 2:00PM - 7:00PM to photograph dancers. Please be sure to fill out the portrait form ahead of time—this allows Jen to generate a unique QR code for each dancer. With that code, you’ll be able to access your online photo gallery and purchase prints or digital downloads directly. The best time to take your portrait is either before or after your dance, while you're dancer is already in costume. Don’t forget: dress rehearsal requires full hair, makeup, and costume.

• Please remember to bring a labeled water bottle and snacks that are mess-free for your dancer. Labeling everything, including costumes and dance shoes, will help us ensure nothing gets misplaced during the event.

• After your dancer has finished practicing their dance(s) on stage they are free to leave dress rehearsal.

• During dress rehearsal, some dancers may have downtime between performances. They can bring activities or enjoy watching others perform in the audience. While dress rehearsal may be long, being prepared and viewing it as a fun time for your dancer can make the experience enjoyable for all!

• During dress rehearsal, parents can escort their dancer to the dressing area. Female guardians only; no men allowed in the dressing rooms. For the recital, only volunteers with badges are permitted backstage for the safety of all our dancers.
