Below is a ton of information about recital, dress rehearsal, and picture week. We will update this information and add to it as more details are finalized. All of the following information has been emailed to our dance families and is available on the bulletin board at the studio. Please be sure to read all the way through and to check out all of the links.
- Costumes
-
-
- We now have all the costumes. The last class (Tues 6:30) will get theirs this coming week!
- Please be sure all costumes are hung up in a safe place. Do not allow your dancer to play it in. After the recital the costume is yours to keep and do whatever you want with it.
- Hang costumes with tutus upside down to help the tutu fluff and the layers to straighten out.
- Performance tights were sent home with the dancer’s costume.
- Additional tights are available for purchase at the studio! We should have all styles and sizes available. Be sure to buy yours, so you’re prepared if you need a backup pair during the recital!
- CLICK HERE for Dancer Checklist, Makeup Tutorial, and Bun Tutorial
- We encourage you to print out the checklist and use it to make sure you have everything for the performances!
-
- Picture Week 4/17-4/20
-
- Arrive 5-10 minutes before your scheduled time
- Wear costume, performance tights, dance shoes, makeup (does not have to be full stage makeup but some makeup is a good idea), and hair as assigned on the costume info sheet.
- One guest per dancer is welcome to stay, due to our limited space.
- We will invite each class back to Studio 1 to run their dance then get pictures taken.
- We will be hosting Pea Pod Photography, out of Archbold, this year. We will do a group picture and individual picture for all classes/dancers.
- Order forms will be sent home at the beginning of April. Be sure your dancer has theirs with them prefilled out with payment inside when they come for pictures. If you have multiple orders, one check is fine, but please indicate on the form the check number and that the check can be found in another form.
- All questions about your pictures should be directed to Ashley Ryan at Pea Pod Photography.
- We hope to have orders back before the end of the dance season. We will keep everyone updated when orders arrive for pickup.
- Saturday Combo please note your picture time is on Wednesday, April 19th.
