INDIVIDUAL CLASS REHEARSALS AT THE RITZ
To better prepare our students for the recital, each class will have a mandatory practice at the Ritz Theatre prior to recital weekend.
This practice helps our dancers to become familiar with the stage space, entrances and exits, etc. Your child’s class rehearsal time is
not her/his regular dance class time. Please make special note of your child’s rehearsal time, and remember that we need every
student to be at their class rehearsal(s)! Students should wear normal dancewear (not recital costumes) to rehearsals, and should
arrive 10-15 minutes prior to their scheduled rehearsal time to warm up before dancing on stage. Please see the schedule below
and mark your calendars for each of your child's rehearsal days and times!

8:00-8:30 PM

8:30-9:00 PM
DRESS REHEARSAL
MAY 27 & MAY 28
The dress rehearsal is mandatory for all students dancing in the Recital. Students in Recital #1 (Friday at 7 pm
and Saturday at 2 pm) will have a dress rehearsal on Wednesday, May 27, beginning at 5:30 pm. Students in Recital #2
(Saturday at 7 pm and Sunday at 2 pm) will have a dress rehearsal Thursday, May 28, beginning at 5:30 pm. If you are in
all four performances, you will need to attend BOTH dress rehearsals.
For the dress rehearsals, students will wear their recital costume, recital tights, dance shoes, and should have
their hair worn as instructed. Make-up is optional for the dress rehearsal. Having the dress rehearsal in full costume
helps avoid any costume mishaps that may occur on stage during the actual recital.
We expect each dress rehearsal to run approximately 2½-3 hours. Dancers in Section 1 must arrive at the Ritz
no later than 5:15 for dress rehearsal (slightly earlier if she/he needs to change), and dancers in Sections 2 and 3 will
need to arrive no later than 6:00 PM. Students should locate their class's seating area (assigned seating will be labeled at
the end of each row), where they will wait until their rehearsal time. A stage mom or instructor will bring your child's
class backstage to line up when it is their class's time to practice. After their dance, classes will return to their seats until
the Finale, after which students who are done practicing will be dismissed.
FINALE: At each dress rehearsal, we will practice the Finale between Sections 1 and 2 as a convenience, allowing
students to leave if their class is finished practicing and they are not in any other dances. Because of the order change
of the Finale, your child may not be in the same costume he/she will normally be wearing for Finale at recital.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE DRESS REHEARSAL
1.
At the dress rehearsal, only parents listed on your studio account should accompany dancers into the Theatre.
Please do not invite other family members and friends to watch rehearsal - the dancers need to focus on their
upcoming performance for loved ones and friends without the pressure of an audience. When you arrive at the
dress rehearsal, please check in with In Motion staff inside the door. If you are personally unable to bring your
child to the dress rehearsal, please call us by May 25, or send a signed note letting us know who will be bringing
your child.
2.
Parents may videotape and take pictures at any time during the dress rehearsal. Flash cameras are ok during the
dress rehearsal as the lights in the seating area will be partially on.
3. Students and parents should not bring food or beverages to rehearsal.
4. Dancers will have access to the dressing rooms as needed to change costumes during the dress rehearsal.
5.
For the dress rehearsal, students will need to sit in the main theatre seats in an area assigned to their class.
Students must sit
together by class so our stage moms and instructors can easily locate each class at its appropriate rehearsal time.
6.
During the dress rehearsal, students need to stay seated and quiet. Make sure your dancer understands
appropriate behavior during the rehearsal; running up and down the aisles in the theatre will not be permitted. If
you bring siblings with you, they should also understand how to behave in a manner respectful to the Theatre, the
dancers, and In Motion staff.
7.
During the dress rehearsal, do not use the parking lots for the Knights of Columbus, Bair Brothers, or Elmwood! If
you park in these lots, you may be towed!

RECITAL TICKETS
Our recital tickets this year can be purchased through Dance Recital Ticketing. This company is very innovative with ticket sales, and
we are hoping for a seamless process. The company will create a link on the In Motion website, inmotiondancestudio.net, allowing
for a more personal approach to selecting and purchasing tickets. You may also type in http://23466.recitalticketing.com to access In
Motion's recital ticketing site. Pre-sales week for studio families begins at 9 am on April 27 and ends May 3. General ticket sales
(open to public) begin May 4 at 9 am and end promptly at 8 pm on May 28.
Pre-sale ticket codes will be distributed the week of April 13-18 to our studio families. You will need your personal code to purchase
your pre-sale tickets! There is a limit of five pre-sale tickets per performance per family, and you will need to print out your tickets
after you purchase them and present them at the door on recital weekend. As in previous years, there is a time limit to complete
your ticket order, and a 15-minute limit will apply this year. That 15 minutes, however, does not begin until you place your tickets in
your shopping cart. After placing them in your cart, you will have 15 minutes to complete your purchase.
To purchase tickets, simply click on the ticket link on inmotiondancestudio.net and follow the prompts. You will be able to select
performances and seats and place them in your virtual shopping cart. All tickets are $10.50. Please carefully check the recital
schedule to ensure you and family/friends are purchasing tickets for the correct performance! Refunds and/or returns cannot be
honored. Studio families may purchase additional recital tickets once general ticket sales begin on May 4. No code is required
during general sales.
Any tickets still available after general sales end on May 28, can be purchased at the door for $12/each.
RECITAL: MAY 29, 30, & 31
Our recital weekend includes four performances at the Ritz Theatre in Tiffin. Each class performs in two out of the four
performances with the exception of Seniors and Ballet 4B. Classes in Recital #2 perform Saturday night, May 30, at 7:00 PM, and
Sunday afternoon, May 31, at 2:00 PM. A slightly larger audience is expected for Recital # 1; make sure to purchase tickets early as
they are likely to sell out quickly.
Students need to arrive at the Ritz Theatre 45 minutes before show time. Please enter through the far left glass door
(when facing the front of the Ritz Theatre) labeled “Dancers Enter Here." Dancers should report to their assigned dressing room and
remain with their class until further instructed by a stage mom or instructor. During this time, dancers may touch up hair and makeup or change into costumes. If it is raining, wearing costumes to the Theatre is not recommended. Also, please do not allow dancers
to eat while wearing their costumes!
During the recital, students are expected to stay for the entire show and participate in the Finale. At no time during the
performance or Intermission should students leave to sit with family/friends in the audience or visit the concession stand. Please
make sure your child understands these rules. Students should use the restrooms backstage instead of the Theatre's public
restrooms.
At the recital, students will need to wear their hair as instructed (you will know your child’s hair instructions before picture
weekend). Please make sure hair is hair sprayed or gelled securely, and use bobby pins to secure any loose hairs. If your child has a
hair accessory with her/his costume, please secure it in tightly with bobby pins so it does not fall off during the dance. All dancers
need to wear make-up during the recital, as stage lights wash out skin color. We recommend using foundation (a half shade darker
than normal skin color), blush, eye shadow, mascara (not on little ones), eyeliner, lipstick (not pale colors), and bronzer if skin is
pale.
Underwear and bras can be visible under costumes, as they can be visible on stage. If your daughter will need a dance bra,
nude leotard, or dance brief, please visit the studio dance shop inside the main studio office during our office hours. We have these
items in stock. Also, be sure to check your child's dance shoes to make sure they are not too tight! If your child needs new dance
shoes before recital, please let us know at least one month in advance.
During the recital, we will have numerous volunteers and stage moms in charge of supervising many of our classes
backstage. If there is room in the balcony, we will allow some of our older students to watch the show when they are not dancing
and have long breaks. For younger students, there will be coloring books and crayons to help pass the time, and, if necessary, we
will play a movie for our little ones while they are waiting in their dressing rooms. Older students may want to bring a small, quiet
game or activity for while they are waiting. Be sure to label all belongings brought backstage.
Because of dancers changing costumes throughout recital, only females will be allowed in the dressing room areas
backstage at the Theatre. When necessary, moms may come backstage during recital to assist younger children who need help
changing costumes.
We also ask that snacks not be brought into the dressing rooms (we have multiple students with severe food allergies). A
safe and mess-free snack (such as animal crackers and pretzels) will be provided to our dancers in the little kid dressing room and
National Theatre. A small water bottle with a lid is fine.
For the safety of our dancers, please refrain from using video recorders and cameras during recital. Please pass this
information along to family and friends who will be attending! Pictures can be taken backstage before and after the show.
During recital weekend, the outside doors to the Ritz Theatre will open to the public one hour before each performance.
The inside lobby doors will open 45 minutes before show time, when general seating begins. Recital programs and flowers can be
purchased in the Ritz lobby during each performance.
FOLLOWING RECITAL
After recital, students who are at least 10 years old will be allowed to exit the back-stage areas on their own to find their parents.
Please decide on a specific meeting place to meet prior to recital weekend! Students younger than ten years old (with the exception
of Tiny Toes 1 and 2, Pre-Ballet, and K-Tap) will return back to their dressing room and be picked up by mom. Students in Tiny Toes
1 and 2, Pre-Ballet and K-Tap will remain on stage and wait to be picked up by mom or dad. We ask for your patience getting
backstage after the show! Before you and your dancer leave the dressing rooms, make sure you have picked up all personal items.
RECITAL AWARDS AND RECOGNITIONS
Since the recital includes four performances, and those performances include different classes, In Motion presents its yearly awards
and recognitions as follows. At the conclusions of Sunday's show, the studio's 2015 graduating seniors, assistants, and staff will be
recognized. Our Ten-Year Students and Dance Teams will be recognized following two separate performances, Friday night and
Saturday night. Dance Teams will be acknowledged as follows: Senior and Teen Teams (with the exception of Teen Trio), Jr. Hip Hop,
and Jr. Lyrical will follow Friday night's performance, and Minis, Jr. Jazz, Jr. Tap, and the Teen Jazz Trio will be recognized following
Saturday night's performance.
HELPFUL TIPS & REMINDERS FOR RECITAL
1. No videotaping or taking pictures during recital performances. You may videotape or take pictures during dress
rehearsals. Pictures can be taken before or after recital!
2. No underwear or bras under costumes. Nude dance bras, nude leotards, and nude dance briefs are allowed and can
be purchased in the studio office before Recital.
3. Please label all dance shoes and costumes with your child’s initials. Keep track of all costume accessories.
4. Due to food allergies, do not bring snacks to recital. You may bring a small water bottle with a lid. In Motion will
provide animal crackers/pretzels to younger students if needed.
5. Dancers are not permitted in the audience or lobby or at the concession stand at any time during the recital.
6. Please be sure your child uses the restroom before recital. Students should use the restrooms backstage only.

should use this door throughout recital week.
8. Only females are allowed backstage and into the dressing rooms. Do not bring children or family members with you.
9. We ask that moms check on young children backstage ONLY if it is absolutely necessary.

11. Please be respectful and pick up after yourself while at the Ritz.
12. Students should bring a quiet game or activity while they wait in the dressing rooms.
13. Make sure all hair accessories are secured in place with bobby pins.
14. Students must stay for the entire recital and Finale. If there is a special reason or circumstance for which you must
leave early, please submit that reason on paper to Jenny by May 15 for approval.
15. Please be respectful to our volunteers and stage moms who are helping during recital. They have a big job! Be
respectful to others in your dressing room.
16. Only enter or exit between dances in the Theatre to avoid blocking the view of others watching.
