What to bring to dress rehearsal:

 

*Costume (wear it there)

*Shoes needed. Twinkles need tap and ballet shoes.

*YOURSELF on time. We cannot wait for late arrivals.

 

We will be waiting in the auditorium during dress rehearsals. Please respect the school rules by not bringing food or drinks there. If you have a long night and need to have something, you must take it out to the commons area to eat it. This will be strictly enforced, as we want to be allowed to continue using this facility.

 

Performance:

 

Drop off / Pick up protocol:

 

All students will be checked into the green room (band room) upon arrival. This is where we wait for our turn. In the past, we have had the littlest twinkles stay with parents, but this time, everyone is backstage. I have magical big girls and teachers waiting to help them have a great time! 

 

If your child has only one dance, have them arrive dressed in costume already. If your child has more than one dance, have them wear a NUDE leotard to make changes easy and quick.

 

The entire show is less than one hour long. There is no intermission. After all the classes have performed, they will all bow together in the finale. At that time, the parents of the littlest dancers come to the stage to get their dancers from us directly. 

 

Green Room Policies:

 

-No parents or non-volunteers allowed backstage UNLESS we call you to come help.

 

-Dancers may not be picked up early, unless there’s an emergency. The show is short, and for everyone’s safety, we need all of the kids to remain with us.

 

-If your child is anxious or gets upset and we need your assistance, we will absolutely call you! We don’t let babies cry endlessly or send them onstage crying. Our goal is for them to have a great time, and while we can usually ensure that between us, if we need Mama, we call Mama!

 

-Students should not be dropped off more than 30 minutes before the show starts. With the littlest ones, it’s better to wait until the last minute. You could come early enough to find your seats, peek in the green room and check in, then maybe hold them and play with them until we’re almost to start time. That way they don’t have too much time to worry.

 

What you can send with your child:

 

-Books or games to pass the time.

-A water bottle that SEALS (NO Stanley cups or similar strawed cups please!)

-Please label everything you send. SHOES should have names, bags should have names, costumes that are not always on their bodies should have names.

 

What you should not send with your child:

-Valuables. We are not responsible for lost or damaged items.

-Snacks. It’s not a long show. Please feed your child beforehand, but lets not have snacks backstage.

-Glitter. Glitter is banned. The school does not want us to use it. Some costumes shed glitter, so we can’t always stop it, but sprinkled or spray glitter is absolutely not allowed.

 

Note on tights:

-Tights for ballet and tap are pink

-Tights for jazz are black

-Tumblers do not wear tights

-If you have a change that requires a change or removal of tights, wear your tights OVER your nude leo.
