 Costume Questions- Please see Michelle Ostrom or your dancer’s instructor.
A list is posted at the studio.

Green Room for Performances-
We will direct you at BHS it is the band room behind the theater.



We ask you not to stand back stage 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 so it's ok to bring coloring books or quiet games to keep them occupied while they are waiting. There will also be a TV set up for the kids to watch while they wait.
You can bring a blanket for them to sit on as well. For Alice in Wonderland 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.

Summer Program- Summer program will be 6 weeks this year.

Auditions for Season 2012- 13
Auditions will take place at the end of August, details will be out during the summer program. All advanced dancers will be eligible to audition plus the dancers that took Ellen Bryant's Tech class this year. We will be performing A Version of the Nutcracker in December, Anastasia and a variety show in the Spring and advanced dancers (HS and College, Adult) will be eligible to audition for special solo from the show of their choice. You must take two ballet classes to have a solo part and stay en pointe. For a lead role
at least 3 ballet classes.

Rules and Theater Etiquette- Very Important
THERE CAN BE NO FOOD OR DRINKS IN THE THEATER AREA!
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 to 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.
**NO Video taping, it can be distracting to the audience and especially the dancers, 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 ends thats on stage. It is courteous to wait, remember the dancers on stage can see you leaving while they are
dancing they have all worked hard for their moment on the stage and it is hard to
watch audience members leaving.



** 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
