Intermission

Finale Procedures

No access to dressing rooms or backstage is allowed during intermission. Parents and visitors must not attempt to visit the dressing rooms or backstage at any point during the show or intermission. Only backstage volunteers with approved security passes may be backstage at any time. 

Families are not permitted to bring flowers or gifts onto the stage for the finale. After the final bows, students will be picked up through the Stage Door at the back of the theatre. One adult must sign the student in and out at the registration desk. If you wish to give flowers to your child, you may do so when picking them up after the finale.

Theatre & Audience Etiquette

  • Remain seated while performers are on stage.

  • Aisles must always remain clear of people and personal items.

  • Applause is welcome and appreciated, but horns, whistles, or other sound devices are not appropriate.

  • Leaving the auditorium should only occur in the event of an emergency. Opening doors during the performance is distracting to performers and interferes with professional videotaping.

  • Electronic devices are not permitted in the auditorium. Silence all cell phones, pagers, or other devices before the performance begins.

  • If a child becomes restless, please step outside to the entrance area.

  • No food or drink is allowed in the auditorium.

  • No smoking is permitted anywhere inside the building.

Volunteers

Photography & Recording

Volunteers and chaperones are accepted on a first-request basis and are subject to a background check for the safety of all students. Volunteers are required to arrive 1 hour prior to their scheduled dress rehearsal block or show start time. No siblings or additional children are permitted with volunteers, as attention must remain on the dancers they are supervising.

  • No personal recording devices or cameras are allowed in the auditorium for the general public. Only licensed media photographers with prior approval from will be permitted. Violators of these rules will be removed from the theatre.

  • June Recital Video Purchase: Recital videos are included as part of the recital package. The video will be delivered as a digital upload that can be shared as you wish. This is the only permitted video recording of the show, for the safety and security of all children.

HAIR REQUIREMENTS

  • Girls: All dancers must wear a slicked, middle-part, low bun at the nape of the neck for the June Recital. Bangs must be pulled back off the face so eyes are clearly visible in photos and on stage.
  • Boys: Hair must be neatly styled and away from the face.

 

Nails & Jewelry

Absolutely no fingernail polish may be worn for the June Recital. For your child’s safety, no dangling jewelry may be worn, including earrings, bracelets, or necklaces. The only earrings permitted are crystal clear studs.

 

Costumes

Costumes for the June Recital are included in the Recital Packages. They are distributed before Picture Day in April and should be kept in good condition and clearly labeled with your child’s name.

Makeup Guidelines

  • Eyes: Apply charcoal or dark brown eyeshadow on the eyelid. Apply light pale pink eyeshadow above the lid, blending up toward the eyebrow. Mascara is required. Eyeliner on the top and bottom lash line is recommended so eyes appear larger and more defined on stage. Liquid eyeliner is suggested, as it is easier to apply and shows clearly under lights.

 

  • Cheeks: Blush should be applied to the cheekbones so dancers do not appear pale or washed out under stage lighting.

 

  • Lips: Lipstick is required so dancers do not look pale under the lights. Lip color should be a red or pink tone that complements the costume. No blue, purple, black, or dark/unnatural colors are permitted. The goal is to enhance the dancer’s natural lip color—a shade slightly darker than their natural lips is ideal. Lip gloss may be worn on top of lipstick for added shine.
