General Recital Information
SHOW DAYS:
The performers will be asked to arrive at the
theater in costume and makeup one hour &
fifteen minutes before show time to rehearse the
finale before the first show (10:45a.m), and 30
minutes before the second show (4:30p.m).
Dancers will be dropped off at the Student
Entrance adjacent to the theater, & escorted by
the backstage parent to designated waiting
areas. Following the performances, you will be
able to collect your dancer at pre-determined
exits. Please consult your class coordinator for
these procedures.
All Intensive Study Dancers are required to
take class onstage at 9:30a.m.
Classes not involved in the finale rehearsal, but
certainly invited to participate in our ending bow
include: Bakers, Nurses, and Makeup Artists.
Video:
Our show will be videotaped, once again, by Mr. Andy
Morin. An order form is attached to our newsletter.
The video is $30 each, and copies will be available later
during our Summer Session. Mr. Morin is a Volunteer
Dad who does a remarkable job producing a video that
will be a wonderful keepsake for a dancer’s family.
If you wish to personally videotape your student’s
dance, it will only be permitted during dress
rehearsal, as we want all our patrons to enjoy the
performance, including the dancers and those
seated near you. WE THANK YOU, IN ADVANCE,
FOR RESPECTING OUR REQUEST. There will be a
designated area for this purpose at the rehearsal.
SECURITY MEASURES:
Please understand, because of security
reasons, absolutely no one will be allowed
backstage during the performances & no
student will be permitted to leave before the finale. If extraordinary circumstances arise & your student must leave before the end of our performance, a special permission note must be presented to Ms. King prior to the
show dates.
This rule will be strictly enforced, & we would appreciate all parents treating our backstage volunteers with
courtesy.
MANDATORY MEETINGS:
We ask that any family new to DANCE IMAGES attend one of the two meetings-held on Friday, April 6th at 7:00pm and Saturday, April 7th at 10:30am. All other families are welcome to attend, as a packet with rehearsal schedules, ticketing, photo and video information will be distributed. Families are required to sign for the documents. Your initials on the sign-in sheet
for this meeting will signify that you
recognize this rule, & will be shown to
anyone wishing to take a student out of our theater early without the appropriate
permission slip.
REQUIRED WEAR:
Ballet pink tights (unless different for dance) & pink slippers. Ties must be tied and tucked in or cut. Jazz and tap shoe ties should be double knotted. Camisole body liners are required for all non-intensive students that must change costumes. Hair must be in a high bun, with no part. Bangs must be slicked back, hairnets and donuts are encouraged.
*Undergarments should not be worn as it distracts from the costume*
