Last day of summer dance!

Summer dance classes begin!

Tips for a smooth show:

•   Be on time!  Plan to arrive early for every event and you will feel more relaxed.  

•   Put your name on every piece of your costume (including shoes & headpieces), in the event that an item gets separated from the rest.

•   If you have quick changes, consider purchasing a nude leotard to wear under your costume.  Choose a low-cut camisole top that won’t show much under a costume.

•   Pack lightly and carefully with everything easily accessible so clean up is quick and easy.  Older dancers, speak to your instructor for packing tips such as a layered basket of costumes packed in the order of your performance and a trash bag or bin to toss the costume pieces you are done with into. This is strongly suggested if you have a lot of quick changes.

•   Make food plans so you don’t get too hungry.  Water and a snack that won’t stain your costume are appropriate for rehearsal and the show.  

•   Bring something quiet to do, for those times when you must wait.  Music, games, a book, and coloring are good choices.

•   If the thought of wrangling your dancer’s hair into a bun keeps you up at night, visit the “Bun Boutique!”  Simply pack your child’s brush, elastics, hair pins and hair spray and one of our amazing volunteers will happily whip up a beautiful bun in a snap! (show day only)

Day of the show…

●   Dancers 10 & under arrive 30 minutes before show time, in costume, with make-up and hair done (visit the Bun Boutique, if you need assistance!) 

●   If you are a back-stage volunteer or class chaperone, please arrive an hour before show time.

●   Report to the designated check-in area and check in with the dressing room supervisor according to the separate instructions included in this packet.

• Dancers 11+ that are only enrolled in tap, hip hop, or aerial arrive 30 minutes before showtime.

●    Teen/tween dancers (11+) in ballet, jazz or modern in levels 2+ arrive 2 hours prior to show time, set up your belongings in your assigned dressing areas, and report to the stage for warm-up.  Please be punctual! Warm-up is not optional for our advanced (levels 3+) ballet, jazz and modern dancers. 

●   Doors to the theater will open for audience members approximately 30 minutes before show time.  

During the show…

●   There are no flash or large screen cameras allowed at the concert.  This policy is for the safety of the dancers and the comfort of your fellow audience members. (Digital download of the performances may be purchased.  Information on how to purchase will be released soon).

After the show...

●  Follow the pick-up rules in the attached pick up/drop off information sheet.

In an effort to ensure young students’ safety, Sole City Dance will strictly enforce the student drop-off and pick-up policy. Thank you in advance for abiding by this policy and helping us keep everyone safe and organized!

●  All youth and teen dancers must pick up their dressing areas, leaving them clean and orderly. Please do not make more work for our generous volunteers.

●  Praise your dancer for his or her fabulous performance! 

Have a great show!  Thank you from all of us at Sole City Dance!
