Dress Rehearsal: Wednesday May 29 & Thursday May 30
It is very important for all dancers to attend Dress rehearsal. The purpose of dress rehearsal is to make dancers feel more comfortable on stage and ready for the big show! Please have your dancer at the theater dressed and ready to dance (costume on, stage makeup and hair fixed) at least 15 minutes before your scheduled rehearsal time. Because of the strict schedule, we will not be able to delay starting a class’s rehearsal to wait for students. If your dancer misses their class’s assigned time, they may miss their chance to practice on stage. Each group will practice their dance on stage 2-3 times. If your dancer’s class has 2 dances, they will practice both dances back to back. After rehearsal, each class will have a group picture taken by our professional photographer. After pictures, you are free to leave, or you may stay and watch other classes dance. Feel free to take non-flash pictures and videotape the rehearsal. Videotaping will not be permitted at the shows.
Recital Day:
This year we have 5 shows. Please see recital assignments for your dancers show time. Dancers will need to arrive at the theater dressed in costume and makeup 30 minutes prior to the start of their assigned show. There will be signs directing you to the proper door.
Dancers must remain backstage through the entire show. This is not only for security reasons, but also because every child participates in the finale at the end of the show.We have a police officer that will be outside the dressing room for security. Each show will last about 90 minutes. Following the finale, we will dismiss one class at a time from the stage.
Please note, there is no flash photography permitted during the show. This is for the safety of the dancers on stage. Photographs without flash are permitted.
Recital Videos: A digital copy of the recital is included with your recital fee. A link will be sent to your email that you will be able to download and share with family.
Recital Tickets:Tickets are now available for purchase. Pre-sale tickets for the show will be $12 each, $15 at the door. Children under the age of two sitting in a parent’s lap will not need a ticket. Please tell your guests the doors to the theater will open 30 minutes prior to the show and the theater is general seating. Tickets can be purchased through your parent portal or through our square store online. Gadanceunlimited.com under the recital tab.
Flowers and Recital Bears: Bouquets of flowers and recital teddy bears will be available to purchase for your dancer. Items can be pre ordered through the parent portal and our website. We highly encourage pre ordering as we do not guarantee in-stock at the show.
Costumes: As costumes come in, we steam them and put them in a garment bag. When you receive your costume, we suggest removing any puffy costumes from the garment bag and allowing them to breathe. Please note, most tutus are hung upside down. Your costume label will list the correct tights/socks and shoes. You will find any included tights/socks, hair accessories, etc in the back pocket of your garment bag.
Hair: Included in this packet and on your costume’s garment bag, is information on how each class should wear their hair for the dress rehearsal and recital. We encourage you to use hair spray and gel to make your dancers hair look neat and to keep any wispy hairs away. If you have any questions about the hairstyle for your dancer’s class, please ask your dancer’s teacher or the front desk prior to rehearsal. Please note, if your dancer has multiple hairstyles within one show, every attempt is made to start in a ballet bun and then move to a high ponytail.
Stage Makeup: All dancers should wear makeup on stage. Without make up your dancer’s face will look washed out and pale under the bright stage lights. All dancers should wear red lipstick, brown eyeshadow, pink blush and mascara (if you can manage to get it on your dancer). Stage makeup should be applied heavier than everyday make up. The more makeup you put on your dancer the better your dancer’s features will show up on stage. Your dancer should be in stage makeup for dress rehearsal so that we can determine if the correct amount is used. If you have any questions about stage makeup and the correct amount to apply, please ask your dancer’s teacher or front desk before dress rehearsal.
Picture Time: (at dress rehearsal only) After each class practices on stage, they will have a group picture taken by our professional photographer… YAZ Photography. A digital group photo of your dancer’s class is included in your recital fee. This group photo will be emailed out to you after the editing process. After the group photo is taken, your dancer can take individual photos if you would like to purchase a picture package. All orders and payments for individual pictures are made directly to the photographer, not the studio.
Backstage Moms Volunteers and Parent Assist Classes: We need moms to volunteer to stay backstage with the dancers during the show. If you volunteer, you will need to arrive 45 minutes before the show and sit with the dancers during the entire show. When your dancer dances, you will be able to go to the side of the stage to watch. If you are interested, please contact the studio.
Please note, a parent/relative MUST stay backstage with your Tiny ballerinas (2 year old class) for the entirety of the show.
