Dancers with only 1 dance will be in the choir room directly behind the backstage door we will direct you. NO DANCERS SHOULD BE IN THE AUDIENCE IN COSTUME.

 We ask you not to stand back stage as it is small and the noise carries to the audience, it can also be distracting to the dancers performing. Please do not bring juice or soda, water is ok. If you need to bring snacks make sure they are not sticky or greasy.
For the younger dancers one of  Dads old button up shirts is great to cover up their costumes. The little ones also get antsy it's ok to bring coloring books or quiet games to keep them occupied while they are waiting. You can bring a blanket for them to sit on as well. For the combo class dancers they may leave after they dance or you can stay and watch the show.

Rules and Theater Etiquette- Very Important
THERE CAN BE NO FOOD OR DRINKS IN THE THEATER!
The following is a list of rules to ensure that the whole performance experience is a pleasant one. It takes a lot of patience and coordination
to put on a production with over 150 dancers. If your family has participated for several years keep your eyes open for those new dance families they could use your support, the first performance can be
a little overwhelming. Thank you.
** No flash photography, this can distract the dancers.
**Dancers ! Please pay close attention the the line up and when it is your time to go on some dancers have missed their queue because they were playing around and not paying attention.
**Video taping, please be courteous to those around you it can be distracting, we will be selecting the best footage from all the shows for the DVD.
**If you need to pick up your child after they have danced please wait until intermission or after the dance on stage. It is courteous to wait, remember he dancers on stage can see you leaving while they are
dancing. They have all worked hard for their moment on stage.
** Please leave all jewelry at home.
**Please put your dancers name on EVERYTHING ! it will be easier to find missing items after performance. Dance wear is expensive. We keep a lost and found at the theater and then at the studio after performance. If your dancer has more than one dance put their name on the hangers.
**Make-up - For all dancers with the exception of the advanced dancer.
Blush,soft blue or green eye shadow, rosy colored lipstick, mascara and darken the eyebrows if needed.

                This is a lot of information but I hope it
       will answer most of your questions and keep you well informed
             of everything that is going on.

     Have a Wonderful performance and thank you so much for
      your support. All your dancers are amazing !
