RECITAL FAQ

When and Where?

Date: The Dance Daycare Program for Smart Kids CDC will be performing in our annual Miller Street recital. Rehearsal is Saturday May 18th 2019 at 1:00pm, and the Recital is Sunday, May 19th, 2019 at 1:00pm.
Where: Both rehearsal and recital place TBA.

When do we receive our costume?

Dancers will receive their costume during Parent Observation Day. This is a great opportunity to see your dancer in their costume for the first time! Don’t forget to bring your camera! Accounts must be up-to-date and in good standing prior to receiving your dancer’s costume.

How long are the recital shows?

Each show is 1.5-2 hrs.

Will my dancer get to sit in the audience once her/his dance is finished?

For general safety reasons, we insist that all performers remain backstage during both the dress rehearsal and recital performances. We have plenty of staff backstage to keep your dancers entertained while they wait for their dance.

Does my dancer have to wear makeup to dress rehearsal/recital?

Your dancer does not have to wear makeup to dress rehearsal. We do recommend some makeup for the recital so the stage lighting does not make dancers appear “washed out.”

Will there be someone taking pictures of my dancer during the rehearsal and recital?

We do not hire a professional photographer to take pictures during the rehearsals and recitals. You are welcome to take pictures of your dancers from your seat only. However, flash photography is not permitted during the performances. No video-taping is permitted during the recitals. Video-taping is permitted during rehearsals only.
