Hair – Should be pulled neatly back away from the face in a neat bun, unless discussed differently with the instructor of the class.
Make-up – Should consist of blush, eyelashes, mascara, light eyeshadow, and lipstick.
Jewelry – 12 & over – Rhinestone earrings – no other jewelry should be worn.
Food – Snacks and lunch – NO colorful foods or beverages like red, orange, blue, etc. (see additional food guidelines)
Activities – Pack activities for downtime backstage (coloring books, paper, games, etc)
DROP OFF FOR 11:30AM AND 1:30PM SHOWS
PLEASE RESPECT OUR SCHEDULE AND ANY CONCERNS OR HESITATIONS WITH DROPPING YOUR CHILD OFF IN THE MORNING MUST BE DISCUSSED WITH RONDA BEFORE SHOW DAY!!!
- Dancers should report directly to the back door of the Performing Arts Center at 8:00am with costume, hair and makeup done.
- ONE parent/guardian can drop their dancer off and sign them in at their assigned table. We ask that you leave once they are settled as we have to get them onto the stage for a quick run through. Each table will have 2-3 assistants assigned to stay with and help the dancers. They are in good hands with our assistants who were once in their shoes!
There will be NO intermission during the 11:30am and 12:30pm performances.
To avoid distracting the performers and other audience members, we ask that you wait until the end of the performance – AFTER THE FINALE – to pick up your dancer at the drop off location.

FOOD GUIDELINES FOR RECITAL DAY
There are a few dancers in our studio who have severe food allergies and I am asking for your cooperation when bringing food to the recital. Please be aware and do not pack snacks with peanuts, tree nuts or dairy/milk products. Please read the label of the products you would like to send. Some of these ingredients are sneaky and you would not expect them to be in the snacks you would like to send (ie, no Cheez-It’s as this has milk powder). We also ask that you send items that will not stain the costumes. (No red fruit punch, chocolate, etc.)
Below are some suggestions for snacks (please keep in mind that manufactures change their manufacturing process so a food on this list might not now be ok.)
All Fruit and Vegetables
Plain Wheat Thins
Plain Ritz Crackers
Saltine Crackers
Plain Lays Potato Chips
Bachman Pretzel Stix
Go Go Squeeze
Vanilla Oreos
Graham Crackers (Nestle or Honey Maid)
Teddy Grahams
Skinny pop popcorn (plain)
Tostitos Chips
Barnum animal crackers
Belvita cinnamon, blueberry or chocolate
