Art of Dance Studio Recital

We want everyone to enjoy the recital performances! To enhance everyone's enjoyment of the show, we believe in emphasizing the rules of common recital etiquette.

The Magic of a Live Performance: When you attend live performances, please keep in mind that the performers can hear and see you. Your actions & reactions (positive, negative, or disruptive) can impact the performers' success. All of the dancers have invested time and hard work into their performances, so please show them the respect and courtesy they deserve.

Entering/Exiting: Please plan your travel so that all of your guests are seated at least 10 minutes prior to the performance starting. Late arrivals are incredibly disruptive and will not be admitted during a dance number. Once you arrive, please do not enter/exit the performance area unless it is a true emergency. No exits/entrances will be allowed while the dancers are on stage. There will be an intermission that will permit an opportunity to stand-up, use the restroom, purchase raffle tickets, etc.

Silence Your Technology: Please silence all of your electronics prior to the start of the performance. You should never speak, text, check social media, or play games on your electronics during a performance.

Children & Babies: We invite all children and babies to attend our show. If your child becomes upset or fussy during the performance, please promptly step out into the lobby as not to disrupt the dancers and other audience members. A quick change of scenery is often effective in calming upset children. When deciding whether to bring a small child, please keep in mind that they may get antsy due to having to sit still for so long, and there will not be room in the audience seating for them to move freely.

Noises: Please refrain from speaking during the performances. This is very distracting to our dancers and your neighbors. Your child may not be on stage, but your neighbor's child might be.

Photography/Videography: Please do not stand or block the view of other guests while trying to record or take photos. Please remember that photography and videography are not allowed during the recital performances. This is distracting to your neighbors, all of the people behind you, and our dancers. It will also be distracting in the video recordings of the performances that we are having recorded.

Food/Drink: Outside food and drinks are not permitted. A concession stand will be available.

Curtain Call: The show is over at the conclusion of curtain call (when every dancer comes onstage to take their final bow). Audience members should stay for the entire performance and should not leave early during the curtain call. Please remain in your seat until the performance is over. Then, exit with the rest of the audience. This policy is in place to show respect to all of our performers.

Most importantly, remember to enjoy the show! Our dancers have worked very hard, and they will appreciate your applause and enthusiasm!

Please arrive at Silver Eagle Distributors Hospitality Room on Thursday, June 12th & Friday, June 13th for Dress Rehearsal. Please enter the building through the front doors of the building. 

Thursday, June 12th - Dress Rehearsal Arrival Times

6:30pm - S1030

6:45pm – S1120

7:00pm – S100 & T5

7:15pm – M4

7:30pm – M5 & M6

Friday, June 13th - Dress Rehearsal Arrival Times

6:30pm – All classes arrive in full costume

Each dancer performing in the show will receive a VIP wristband before they leave Dress Rehearsal on Friday. Please do not allow your dancer to leave without a wristband. Also, please do not allow your dancer to remove their wristband because it will be needed to enter on Saturday.

On Friday, dancers are welcome to arrive in full hair and makeup if they so choose. If not, that is fine, as long as hair and makeup is done for the show on Saturday. During our rehearsal, we will rapidly run through the show numbers; dancers will have costume changes.

Recital t-shirts will be issued to the dancers. Students should include their t-shirt with their costumes because after their final performance (on Saturday), they'll change into their recital t-shirt. Adult t-shirt orders can be picked up during dress rehearsal.

Parents are welcome to stay but are not allowed "backstage." Once dancers have completed all of their routines, have received a VIP wristband, and have their costume for their first performance in the recital, then they are free to go. There's no need for dancers to stay until the very end. If you (the parent) choose not to stay, just let us know, and we'll call you when your dancer is ready to be picked up. Always be sure to sign in and out as usual.

Please note that during the actual show, we will have interactive audience experiences such as door prizes, raffles, and/or trivia questions to engage with the crowd. We will not include these activities during the dress rehearsal. To find out more, visit the Interludes section.

The purpose of adding interludes is to keep the audience engaged, fill in gaps, and allow a bit of extra time for a costume change if needed. We'd like to provide you with an overview of the entertainment options we have in store.

TRIVIA QUESTIONS

Prizes include various gift cards in the amount of $5.

Trivia Rules:
1. You must allow the trivia host to finish the entire question before making any "ooh ooh ooh" noises.
2. You must remain in your seat, raise your hand, and wait to be called on.

4. You can only win trivia once.
