IMPORTANT SHOWCASE GUIDELINES

  

ATTACHED is the Showcase line up and a timeline guide beside each routine for our Showcase on Sunday, June 13th. Please keep the important rules in mind in helping the show run smoothly. The doors open at 11:00. The Run-Through for recreational dancers is an assigned time between 12:30-2:00 PM and the main Showcase is held 2:30-5:30 PM. PLEASE wait in between routines to get up from your seat. You will interrupt others trying to see their special dancer. Courtesy counts!

· Saving Seats~ You may enter as early as 11:30 pm to reserve seats however, at least one family member must remain present with the seating being saved. If not, be warned, your seating markers will be removed by the staff. You can't just come at 11:30 and mark off seats and then leave the auditorium. Please do not save more than 10 seats in an area. Some family members will need to sit elsewhere. Courtesy counts!

· Guests – You may invite as many guests as you like to the show as you like but they MUST WEAR A MASK!! These are regulations per the KPAC auditorium. No mask- no guest entry- no discussions or debates. Dancers do not have to wear a mask onstage.

· Programs – This year we are not offering the traditional handheld program but one you will download with a link that we will send in a separate email coming soon. The link will include the lineup attached to this email.

· Videos – Your Showcase Fee includes a download you will receive in an email a few weeks after the show that you can share with friends and family as well.

· Your child needs to meet to line up 5 songs before they dance in the Showcase. (All meet in cafeteria dressing area) Please note the approximate times listed as well beside the routine! These time guidelines are also to be listed in the program so plan on heading to the dressing area 15 minutes prior or 5 routines. Remember the times listed are their performance times, not their meet times for lining up.

 

STAGE REHEARSAL Run-Through (12:30-2:00 Recreational & Gym students only) We can't wait on anyone so be there 15 minutes before the time listed for your child in either a leotard or shorts/t-shirt to easily dance in but not to mess up hair and makeup. This is a quick run through for spacing so no costuming is required now. Wear Ballet or Jazz shoes to rehearse both routines. No costume changes during this run-through.

(Please note that this year (only) we have included Competition Solos due to Covid restrictions limiting family to attend the competitions.)

 

· Mousercise - Bring your child directly backstage during the showcase at 4:00 (not the cafeteria). You can get them acquainted with us and then leave back to your seat. Once they perform, come down front and lift them off the stage quickly and then either back to your seat or you are free to leave.

· No Dads/Men allowed in the cafeteria dressing area.

· Flowers will be sold at the show as a gift for your child.

· Refreshments will be served at the hallway refreshment counter.

· Make sure your child dresses in the CAFETERIA and is in the CAFETERIA to be called for their lineup 5 songs before they perform. Meanwhile they can remain seated with you until time to meet. Use the timeline given and meet for lineup 5 songs or 15 minutes prior to their performance time!

· (Gymnastic Routines) All ages and gymnasts meet in the cafeteria for Lineup 5 songs prior. Make sure your dancer has stretched and warmed up for this routine. Only warmup your tricks in a safe and uncrowded area of the cafeteria.

· We cannot wait on any child who is not there for the lineup (in other words we are not going to go and search for your child so make sure they are there!!) If there is an emergency of a different sort, we may hold the routine briefly.

· No playing and rough housing at the Showcase. You are responsible for keeping your eye on your child and that they behave.

· Once your child is done performing you are at liberty to leave if you desire but are certainly welcome to stay and enjoy the show.

· NO FOOD IN THE AUDITORIUM!!! Dance Dreams gets fined financially…eat in the hallway or outside.

· Do not let your child eat in their costume! FOOD stains do not come out of your costumes. Cover-up if you must eat or drink.

· Water or sprite colored drinks are allowed in the dressing areas. Dark colored drinks accidentally spilled and that flow/spill on someone's costumes....NOT GOOD!

* Fire Law - No baby strollers in the isles
