 Costume Questions- Please see Michelle Ostrom or your dancers instructor.

Green Room for Performances-

We will direct you at the Fairgrounds where you will need to take you dancer while they wait to perform.

 We ask you not to stand back stage as 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 Peter Pan the combo class dancers may leave after they dance or you can stay and watch the show please have them change out of costume if you stay, dancers in costume in the audience takes away from the "magic" of the production.  Thank you.

show that will include  solo’s from Famous Musicals solo’s, solo’s will be by

audition only. 

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 200 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 this year. All your dancers are amazing !

                       Miss Helene
