Location: Ogle Center

This year we will have THREE different performance times. You can find your student’s performance time below. We have tried our hardest to keep younger students in multiple classes in one performance as well as schedule siblings for the same show. However, we were not able to accommodate everyone. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
Recital Pictures
Please remember that there will be absolutely NO PHOTOGRAPHY DURING THE SHOW OR REHEARSAL. All electronic devices with a camera put off light that can cause distraction and injury as well as diminish the quality of our DVD recording! Miss Amy will stop the show (AGAIN) to tell the audience to put the cameras away, so please let your guests know about this rule.
Recital pictures will take place at Motion Studio. Check the recital overview to see your scheduled picture time(s). Hair, makeup and costume should be exactly as they will be for the performance. We will do group and individual pictures. We would love to have everyone there!
***Please arrive promptly at your call time.
Dress Rehearsal
All performers should be checked in promptly at their call time. Students should arrived dressed and ready to go with their hair and make-up complete. Dancers should check the recital overview page to view their rehearsal time.
Dancers will be free to leave after their final dance rehearsal of the night and should be checked out promptly.
Recital Day
Check In
All performers should arrive 30 minutes prior to their performance time. View the recital overview page to see your performance times. When students arrive they should be checked in and then brought directly to their waiting area. Only one parent or guardian per student will be permitted backstage to the dressing room area. DO NOT STAY IN THE DRESSING ROOM WITH YOUR STUDENTS. There will be volunteers to supervise and help your kids with any costume or hair changes. If you would like to stay backstage….sign up to volunteer.
Check Out
ALL students under age 12 will remain backstage in their dressing room until the end of the show. After the show, ONE parent must retrieve their student(S) from the dressing room. Students that are 13 and older may meet their parents in the lobby.
Multiple Shows
The auditorium will be cleared between shows and anyone wishing to watch more than one performance must wait in the lobby until the auditorium is opened for the next show. Students that are performing in more than one show and under the age of 10 should be checked out between performances. Students over the age of 10 will be allowed to remain backstage between shows.
Show Line Up
If you wish to view the full show line up you can check out the recital handbook for a printable version of all of the recital information.
Volunteers
We can’t do it without you! We need volunteers to help with backstage supervision, flower sales, ticket sales, etc. Backstage volunteers do not need a ticket to the show. You can gift your free ticket on to someone else. Backstage parents get to watch their children from the wings. It’s an exciting experience!
Class volunteers need to be present at Dress Rehearsal and Recital.
Details will be provided in a video prior to the Recital.
Costumes, Hair, & Make Up
Each dance is a team effort and every dancer deserves the opportunity to be part of a polished number that they can be proud of. WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO NOT LET DANCERS GO ON STAGE IF THEY ARE NOT IN PROPER COSTUME, HAIR AND MAKEUP, OR IF THEY ARE WEARING DIRTY OR TORN TIGHTS OR COSTUME PIECES OR ARE MISSING COSTUME PIECES.
Information regarding hair and costume notes can be found in the costume preview book or the recital overview page.
