Check in: All dancers need to be checked into their dressing room by 4:00pm show ready.
Check out: All dancers are free to leave once their class has rehearsed on stage and their teacher releases them. We will text families when classes are released. Please ensure dancers have cleaned up their dressing spots and have all their belongings and costumes. We cannot leave anything behind.
Dress rehearsal is our time to work through any kinks that might arise with staging, props, choreography, etc and is mandatory for all students so please make sure your dancer is in attendance.
Dress Rehearsal | April 30, 2025
Wildwood Sanctuary & Fellowship Hall
All students participating in the recital are required to attend the dress rehearsal
Please have your QR code ready to check your dancer in. This will be emailed to families by April 15th from Check-in Pointe.
Parents do not need to stay, but you are welcome to sit quietly in the sanctuary if you would like. Dancers will be released once their last dance has finished. We will text two to three groups of classes at a time to let parents know that they are done with their rehearsal.
Students will each have a designated dressing spot with their name and costume order. Please ensure they find and put all their belongings in their designated space. They will need to clean up this spot before they leave.
Below is the program order. Please review this before dress rehearsal so your dancer knows what costume they start in.
All dancers need ballet pink tights and hair in a bun. Please ensure your dancer has the appropriate dance shoes:
Ballet - Pink ballet shoes
Jazz - Black jazz shoes
Tap - Black tap shoes
Contemporary - Half Soles
Dancers with multiple costume changes need a flesh-colored leotard to wear under their costume. This helps with quick costume changes. This is also great if your dancer has sensory issues with their costume as it provides an extra layer of comfort. Please ensure your dancer has something to wear over their flesh-colored leotard (sweater, shirt, dress, etc). We ask that dancers not walk the halls/sanctuary in their flesh-colored leotard and no dressing in the halls unless it has been specified as a quick change area.
Some things you need to know:
Students need to bring food! Please have snacks and/or dinner for your dancer. Please make sure it is a nut-free snack/food as we do have students with nut allergies.
Students need to bring a water bottle! Please ensure your dancer has a water bottle and some sort of electrolyte drink to keep them hydrated. This is especially important for our upper-division students in multiple dances.
Students may bring something to keep them occupied during down times. We will have coloring pages and some puzzles at tables.
Put your dancer's name on EVERYTHING! Things get left, tossed around, and mixed up with other dancers' stuff. Please make sure your dancer's name is on everything they bring including their costume, shoes, food, drinks, etc.
Help us keep things tidy - when you pick up your dancer please make sure they have cleaned up any trash, gathered all their stuff, and they leave their dressing area nice and clean. This helps us at the end of the night!
Recital
May 2, 2025 | 6:00 - 7:30 pm
Dancers need to be checked in, show ready by 5:30
After curtain call, dancers will return to their dressing rooms to collect their belongings and clean up their area.
Only one family member is allowed to pick up dancers. Please enter through the main fellowship hall doors to pick up your dancer, and exit through the side fellowship hall doors. To help minimize the chaos, we ask that you refrain from bringing siblings or additional family members. Please ensure your dancer has all their belongings and has not left any trash behind.
Make sure to have your QR code ready for check-out.
