HAIR/MAKEUP/DRESS CODE

The following applies to Pictures, Dress Rehearsal and Recital.  All children need to wear makeup as performance and camera lighting can make the skin look very pale.  For the younger girls, blue eyeshadow, blush and red lipstick.  Make sure to gel and hair spray hair for a sleek and professional look.  Center part with a low bun is required for most classes.  Twinkle classes will have a high bun.  Buns and hair pieces should be secured with bobby pins and hairnets. Older girls – No black or colored bra straps, nude only! 

* NO Jewelry of any kind (unless otherwise instructed)

* NO nail polish

* NO underwear under tights.

This is for the uniformity and professionalism of our dance recital

 

 

 

DRESS REHEARSAL

Saucon Valley High School

DRESS REHEARSAL START TIMES:

Twinkle Star classes……….5:15 pm

Act I ………………6:00

Act II ………………7:00

We will not be rehearsing competition solo’s during dress rehearsal, competition dances do NOT need to wear tjeir costumes, just all black

We schedule a dress rehearsal so our students can become familiar with the stage and to ensure proper lighting, sound and direction.  Please make sure you are on-site and in full costume/makeup/hair by your designated time. 

​

Dress rehearsal will be closed to all guests and families, unless a star performer package is purchased.  This is for the safety of the dancers, and to ensure the dancers can focus fully and that our team can make final adjustments in a distraction-free environment.

​

RECITAL -

Our shows run approximately 2hrs long with intermission.  We ask that all audience members exit the auditorium when the show is over.

​

**** Please note – The recital line up is final.  There will be no changes to accommodate personal schedules, please do not ask.  It's hard to accommodate multiple dances for costume changes.  

​

OTHER REMINDERS:

*  Please make sure to drop your child off and dressed at least 9 numbers before their performance.  You can pick up your child 

   after they dance.  We do not have babysitting services backstage as our parent volunteers also want to see the show

   after their childrens dances.  Older children are not allowed to hang out in the dressing rooms if they are finished dancing.

​

*  Please make sure to clean up after your dancer in the dressing room.

CLASSROOM MOMS

We are looking for Classroom Moms for each performance for ALL Twinkle Stars and Combination Stars classes.  Responsibilities include staying with the class at all times, line ups, walking them backstage, and walking them back to the dressing room after their performance.  Classroom Moms must stay with the entire class until all children have been picked up.  With this, comes the added perk of watching your child from the wings of the stage – the best seat in the house!  Please see the desk to sign up or sign up here

 

USHERS

We are looking for ushers for all performances.  You may volunteer for as little or as many performances as you like.  Ushers will be handing out programs and monitoring the entry/exit at either our main or side doors as well as helping with ticketing and intermission.  Ushers do not need recital tickets.

If you are interested in being an usher please sign up here.

 

Thank you and we look forward to seeing our fabulous dancers on stage!!!
