Dancer Check In/Out
- Dancer Check-In: Please take your dancer with you through the theatre and help them find their spot backstage or in the green-room. If you’re dancer is in multiple dances, help them to organize their costumes backstage and ensure they know where to wait before each dance.

Stage Hair and Make-up
- Makeup is recommended to add professionalism and polish performances. If wearing makeup, please wear only brown eyes, rosy cheeks, and red lips. Light makeup for photos, but there is no such thing as too much makeup for the stage. Clear stud earrings are welcome for pictures and on stage.
- Dancers are welcome to wear holiday hats (e.g., Santa hats) for the winter show. Please ensure hats are pinned or strapped down.
- For hair, a mid-high ponytail (crown of the head) is recommended, and a tight ballet bun for ballet. Flyaway hairs are sprayed or gelled down. The ponytail can be curled or braided. For our students with hair too short for a bun or ponytail, please see your teacher.



Snack Time & Entertainment
Please bring filled water bottles and theatre-approved snacks:
- Water only
- Dry snacks such as granola bars, cereals
- Sliced apple
- Cheese
- Crackers
- Carrots
- Bananas
- Celery
- Grapes
Assume whatever you pack for a snack will be rubbed or spilled on someone’s clothes/costumes.
Please do not bring:
- Things with powder (eg. cheese fish snacks)
- Things that spill (eg. yogurt, pudding)
- Things that stain (eg. strawberries, chocolate)
Bringing some entertainment, such as simple toys, colouring books, or devices, is a good idea. There is a lot of downtime, including the time between the dancer’s arrival and the show’s start. Label everything in case something is left behind.
Have a great show!
