their hard work all year.

audience?
A: NO! Due to limited seating and
fairness to all performers, no one
in the show can sit in the audience.
Q: What post show details
should I know?
A: Following the slideshow, we will
have all students in grade two and
under to remain on stage for a
parent or confirmed adult to escort
the student. If your dancer is
older, please talk about a plan
where you want to meet. All
dancers will need to go backstage
to retrieve their belongings. We
will be stationed at all exits to
ensure the safe departure of our
students. No students will be
dismissed out of the auditorium
without an adult.
Q. Can students leave once they
have performed their routines?
A: All students are to remain until
the show ls completed. Every
student will perform together in our
finale dance, ensuring the
audience's energy is consistent for
all dancers. All dancers will
receive a light-up wristband during
the finale. This will be given at the
dress rehearsal and will be the
dancer's responsibility from that
point on. Maybe put the recital tee
shirt and light-up band together in
a gallon zip-lock bag. We do not
have replacement bands, so
please do not forget your band!
You will keep the band as part of
our finale costume. You will also
need black pants and a red recital
tee shirt.
BACK STAGE
Q: Who watches the students
backstage?
A: Parent volunteers are assigned
to various groups of students and
identified by wearing pink staff
shirts. Parents not on the volunteer
list will not be permitted backstage.
If your dancer has any special
needs or circumstances, please
bring them to our attention so we
can inform our volunteer staff.
Parents will not be permitted
backstage during intermission
unless they are a volunteer.
Q: What is the backstage like?
A: Backstage is the school
hallways. This arrangement works
well to spread the dancers out
while keeping them contained for
easy organization and line up. The
band room is designated for the
dressing room. There will be a
tour of the backstage area for all
first-year students.
Q: What should my child bring
backstage?
A: Please organize and mark
costumes (including shoes and
accessories) with her name.
Students may bring a blanket to sit
on, books, coloring books, and
games. We will not be responsible
for the loss or theft of electronic
devices, so use your discretion.
Students may bring a water bottle
and a light snack. Please use good
judgment on the snack; nothing
messy or heavy that might upset a
nervous tummy.
OTHER HELPFUL TIPS
Q: What are some costume tips?
A: 1. Come dressed in your first
costume. After your last routine
, change into your finale costume.
Red shirt, light band and black
pants.
2. Most of the costumes will be
tights underneath. Please do not
wear underwear under tights; it
shows through and really draws
negative attention to the costume.
3. At a minimum, wear your hair
back In a ponytail. Ballet students'
hair should be in a bun. Please
apply makeup to enhance features
and keep it age-appropriate. Do
not overdo the makeup; we
appreciate the natural beauty of
our dancers.
Q. What are some other recital
tips?

before the show.

the recital and what to expect.
