DANCER & FAMILY INFO

High School Dancer Traditions finale rehearsal in costume

5:30 PM- Full show run-thru will begin
Younger students will be in the same assigned seating as they will for performances. You may leave after your last performance number if you have no other dances.
​
No early release form needed for this dress rehearsal- HOWEVER, parents will need early release forms to take dancers from chaperone area during performances on Saturday, December 2nd.
​
We will be running the show in performance order and all parents and guardians with elementary aged students must stay on the premises until their teacher releases them. Releases could be right after they perform, but we cannot guarantee the times - parents remain with your child so that they are attended to. Once a teacher verbally releases the children after rehearsing on stage, the dancer is the parent/guardian's responsibility solely.
​
Dance photos will be taking place on the second level of the theatre. After a dancer performs their piece onstage, they will go upstairs and get a group/class photo taken. If dancers choose to have individual photos taken, this will be the time to do that too. Order forms will be available at the theatre from the photographer.
​
"Holiday Spectacular 2023" show shirts will be royal blue this year in honor of Mr. Tim Teelin. Limited quantities and sizes will be available for purchase during showtime.
​
9:00 - 10:00 pm
Time slotted for possible extra run-through at the theatre for Middle and High School dancers. The dances being run through will be determined during the dress rehearsal. This will also be used to mark staging for props, sets and special lighting cues, if needed.

PERFORMANCE ORDER
MAKE-UP & NAILS
In order to look like you have a face to the audience, your show makeup needs to be significantly darker than you would wear normally.
​
Both males and females should put on a foundation or matte bronzer to help your face look it's natural shade under the harsh, white lights and brush their the apple of their cheeks (the round part when you smile) with a natural, rosy hue.
​
Both boys and girls should wear a lipstick 1-2 shades darker than their lip color. No fire-engine reds, please! We want you to look natural under the lighting.
​
Both females and males should line their upper and lower lids with black, navy, or olive eyeliner and apply a coat of black mascara to top and bottom lashes.
​
Gentlemen, it is important that you wear stage makeup for Dress Rehearsal and Show. When you apply stage makeup, you look as though you are not wearing any on stage. If you do not apply stage makeup, your face will look like a white slate.
Ladies, apply a dark green or blue shadow to your lids. Purples and browns on your lids can create a "black eye" effect under the lights.
​
Nails should be clean and free of any color polish. French tip, light pink or nude colors are acceptable.
​
Please remember all jewelry should be removed for dress rehearsal and performances as well. It is recommended that jewelry should be kept safe at home and not brought to the theatre at all. This includes earrings, rings, bracelets, wristbands, watches, chokers and necklaces.
