We will try costumes on during class to make sure no costumes are too small, ensure all costume pieces are there and to check for any alterations. If they need to be altered, we can let you know what needs to be done and the names of a few of our seamstresses. These are not custom fit costumes and on a few occasions, alterations are necessary. Please DO NOT wear any costume to play in before the recital. Do not wash the costume before the recital. Any damage that occurs after you receive your costume will be your responsibility to fix, not the responsibility of the dance studio or costume company. ​

We like to have all students present for group recital pictures. Each class has a schedule time to take photos at the studio (See ​
PHOTO SCHEDULE 2015​
). The schedule of times as well as examples of DaSilva Photography are posted in the lobby of the studio. There is no fee or obligations to purchase. This is an added bonus to the recital experience. All photos must be ordered and paid for on this day. Photos will be delivered to the studio in approximately 8 weeks. You should come in full costume, hair & make­up. The make­up on photo day should be light. Make sure to give yourself plenty of time to get ready ​
and be at studio 20­30 minutes before scheduled group time​
. Once the group picture is taken, we cannot go back. Due to distractions, available space & liability… ​
NO Parents or cameras are allowed in the photo room. DO NOT TAKE PICTURES IN STUDIO!! HAIR & MAKE­UP: Detailed hair styles for each class/dance are listed when you receive your costumes in class. We will also have th​
COSTUME INFORMATION SHEET 2015​
posted on our website after June 12​
. Make­Up for picture day should be considerably lighter than recital make­up. At the recital, the make­up is a lot heavier to compensate for the stage lighting. All dancers should have blush, (Red­burgundy) lipstick, dark brown eye shadow, black eyeliner & black mascara. If it is too difficult to get eyeliner & mascara on your little dancer, please note that lipstick and blush are the most important. NO additional jewelry unless it is part of the costume and NO nail polish for photos or performances. Check out MODE DION on Youtube… you will see the Youth Stage Face demo. Her website is ​

Add $3.00 for Adult XL, XXL or XXXL. 3 PARENT VOLUNTEERS: In order for the recital to go smoothly, we need the help of our fabulous parents. Each of these jobs are very important to make the day work, so please volunteer for one of the shows. We will be sending out an email through SIGNUP GENIUS for all volunteers. An email notice will be sent out letting you know if you have been selected as a parent volunteer and your backstage pass will be provided the day of the recital. GO TO: (We will email this link to you) ● We need a BACKSTAGE MOM Volunteer for each class of students under the age of 12. The job of the parent volunteer is to keep the children together and quiet backstage and assist with any costume changes. We would like to have one parent from each class. The parent volunteer will be able to watch their child’s performance from the wings. ● We need SECURITY (Dads & Brothers) for the backstage doors for each show. Make sure the doors are safe & secure, keeping all dancers and volunteers backstage. Dad’s and brothers make great security volunteers. ● We need TICKET TAKERS for each show.

If you place your order early, the bouquet will be available for pick up on the day of the recital in the front lobby. No hassle flowers! We do not bring very many extra bouquets to the recital, so get your order in ASAP. Please see the Flower Order Form and turn it into the front desk by June 12th.

The ads sizes are as follows: 1/2 page ad (5x4) = $35 Full page ad (5x8) = $70 Business Card = $25 (3 to a page) LINERS = $10 (25 words or less) 4 DAY OF RECITAL: Rules­Reminders­Helpful Hints TIME: All dancers should be backstage the Nechita Theater a half­hour before each show. The auditorium doors open a half­hour before the start time to each show. Due to the theater location and that the shows are during the week, I highly suggest to head up to the area (Orange) early and go out to dinner before the show. That way if there is traffic, it will not be as bad earlier. Also, we suggest to take the Toll Road – 241 to Santiago Canyon Road – turn rt. Onto jamboree then left onto Santiago Canyon. This turns into Villa Park and then turn right onto N Santiago. This will avoid the 5 & 55 Freeway traffic!!! DANCER’S ENTRY: All dancers must enter at the DANCER’S ENTRY, not through the main auditorium doors. This entry will be clearly marked. Please drop your child off in full costume, hair and make up with the parent volunteer and leave the backstage area immediately. If you do not have a backstage pass, you will not be allowed backstage. You may not come backstage to dress your dancer or do make­up and hair. Once they are checked in, they are our responsibility. It is very hard for us to get organized when we have people other than the dancer’s and parent volunteers backstage. Thank you in advance your cooperation. Once the dancer is dropped off backstage, they may not leave the backstage area until the show is over. The dancers go backstage to their dressing room where there is a parent volunteer watching over each class. The dancers will have the chance to watch the recital from TV monitors in the dressing rooms and from the side of the stage. All dancers will participate in the Finale, so they must stay backstage until the end of the show. PLEASE DO NOT TRY TO GET YOUR DANCER EARLY. In the interest of modesty, men or boys are NOT permitted in the dressing room area at anytime. We do have a boys dressing room for the boys in the show. COSTUMES & MAKE­UP: Dancers should arrive in full costume, hair, make­up and proper dance shoes for the show. Dancers who are in more than one dance should have their second costume with them to change into immediately after their first dance. Make sure that all costumes & shoes have their names in them. NO JEWELRY! Except Costume accessories! No panties under costume. No fingernail polish. FOOD: No food or drink is allowed backstage except water. It would be a good idea to send bottled water with your dancer’s name on it. It is best to have dancers eat before the recital and maybe have a small snack before coming backstage. It is best to pack this in a grocery bag so when they are done it can be thrown away instead of getting lost. NO GUM!! No food or drink is allowed in the auditorium. Concessions will be available but must be eaten in the lobby or outside. LET COMMON COURTESY DICTATE YOUR BEHAVIOR: Please turn off all cell phones & pagers. If you must enter and exit the auditorium, do so BETWEEN NUMBERS. If you return to the auditorium while a dance is in progress, wait at the back of the theater until the number is over. This theater does not have a crying room. If you have a crying child, please be courteous to the people around your and take the child out to the lobby. No talking during dance numbers. Simply put, think about how you would like the people around you to behave while YOUR child is onstage. 5 RECITAL LENGTH: Each performance is about 2 hours plus an intermission. PHOTOGRAPHS: No flash photography is permitted at the recital​
. Flash pictures may be taken at dress rehearsal only. This is for the safety of the dancers on stage as well as being considerate to the people around you. It will also show up on the video and white out the picture. VIDEOS: No videotaping is permitted at the recital​
If you would like to videotape your dancer, please do so at the dress rehearsal. This will also allow you to enjoy the show without distractions and have a professional DVD of your dancer’s performance. PARENTS: Put your child’s name on everything!!!​
It is easy for dancers to get things mixed up in the dressing room and there is always a lot of stuff left at the end of the day. We collect items left behind so you can claim them at the studio. Make a list of all the costume pieces, accessories, shoes, tights & supplies. This will come in handy when leaving home and when leaving rehearsal. Don’t forget those extras dancers need; hair pins, safety pins, hair net, foot tape, hairspray, needle & thread, etc. An apron is a useful tool backstage for Company Moms. TICKETS: Tickets will be available for purchase on the day of the show if it is not sold out. Dancers do not require tickets as they will be backstage for the entire show. All volunteers will not require a ticket for the show they are volunteering for. Children 2 years of age and younger do not need a ticket if they are sitting on an adult’s lap. However, if you want your child to have a seat, you must buy a ticket. Lost tickets will not be refunded. If you have purchased tickets for someone else, we will have Will Call available. 6
