RECITAL COSTUMES
Please review the costume books at the front desk which are organized by class day to see what your dancer will be wearing at the recital! Costumes are handed out at the studio as they arrive. Please mark all costumes with your dancer's name.
Hair and makeup for all recreational classes is as follows:
EYES: Natural tone eye shadow (beige/browns), black eyeliner and mascara
LIPS: Red lipstick
FACE: Foundation to match skin tone and natural/light blush, if necessary
HAIR: Mid-height bun for ballet; mid-height pony tail (if long enough) for all other classes
SHOES: regular class shoes for all classes except hip hop (pink ballet shoes, black mary jane buckle tap shoes, tan jazz shoes for 3-10 year olds, tan turners, black tie tap shoes, pick ballet shoes for 11 & up classes)
Hip hop teachers will decide on either all white or all black sneakers (any brand) and will advise parents.
If tights are required for any classes, we will let you know what color is needed.
PICTURE WEEK: Monday May 21 - Thursday May 24
Pictures take place the week following recital, May 21st -24th. Dancers should arrive with hair and makeup complete. A dressing room is available for dancers to change into their costumes. If your dancer is in a combination class (Creative Movement or Jazz/Tap classes), the teacher will decide on one costume to wear for pictures. Your child may take an individual picture in a different costume if time permits after all other pictures are completed.
Parents are able to view and purchase pictures on picture day. Multiple photographers will be on-site to move dancers through quickly, so we ask that parents stay at the studio rather than dropping children off and leaving.
Company team pictures are scheduled for April 28 at Jeri Tidwell Studio in Savage Mill. Teens/Seniors 10:00am-12:00pm, Juniors 12:00pm-2:00pm, Minis 2:00pm-4:00pm
Crew pictures are scheduled for Tuesday 5/22. Please check exact times in the schedule link below as they may be different from your regular class time.
For Monday through Thursday recreational classes, pictures are scheduled during your dancer's regularly scheduled class time with the following exceptions:
Lil' Movers - Monday 5:00 (instead of Tuesday 5:00)
11 & Up Intermediate Hip Hop - Tuesday 8:00 (instead of Tuesday 6:00)
Friday classes are scheduled for Wednesday 5/23 and Thursday 5/24, and Saturday classes are scheduled for Monday 5/21. Please see the full schedule below.

VOLUNTEERS
Do you want to volunteer during the recital this year and get a free ticket?
Volunteers will help assist with costume changes, lining up dancers, and chaperoning dancers in the dressing rooms. Volunteers may be moms, dads, older siblings, or close relatives. Volunteers are not required to purchase a recital ticket and are able to watch their dancer's routine by stepping into the audience one number before they perform.
Before the show, a mandatory volunteer meeting will be held.
Meeting time TBD
Volunteers are a crucial piece in making the show successful, we greatly appreciate everyone who puts forth their time. Thank you!
QUESTIONS?
Recital time may be overwhelming for students, new and experienced! Please let us know if you have any questions along the way and we will be more than happy to guide you.
