Are face masks required for this performance?

To allow for maximum safety for our dancers and guests, face masks WILL BE REQUIRED while attending our 2021 Spring Dance Festival. Face masks will be permitted to be removed if guests are stationary and distanced outside of the tent for photos and our snack bar. All dancers will receive a performance face mask with their costumes. Audience members are asked to sit with their household in socially distanced seating pods. Please keep your face mask on during attendance in order for us to continue forward with the show. Our senior soloists have been vaccinated and will be permitted to perform their solos without their face masks. Please choose a seat that is distanced from the stage if you are concerned about your comfort level.

Do I need to buy a ticket for everyone attending?

Spring show seats are being sold at limited capacity this year, so it is very important that everyone has a ticket. Don’t worry, there are discounted rates for children under 5 and students!

Can my dancer come and sit in the audience with me after they dance?

Yes! Teeny, Bitsy, and Mini level 1 dancers can be picked up by their parent at the dressing rooms following their performance and sit in the tent to enjoy the rest of the show. These dancers can also be signed out during intermission or at the end of the show.

Does my little ballerina need to wear make-up?

Definitely a yes. Everyone should wear at least a light amount of makeup to define facial features under the stage lights. It is very bright on the stage and we want you and our videography to get all of the tiny sparkling smiles in clear focus!

I have a new ballerina! Any tips on making the perfect ballet bun?

Don’t worry! Soon you will be a ballet bun expert! Start with a high ponytail pulled back nice and tight at the crown of the head. Twist and wrap the hair clockwise pinning the hair down at the base with bobby pins as you go. You can use a hair net from a drugstore or additional bobby pins around the edge along the bottom to keep the bun smooth around the sides. Spray with hairspray! Also... Here's a video link.

What items do I need to bring for show day?

All dancers should pack costumes, required dance shoes, 2 pairs of tights (check parent info sheet for color), bobbypins, and hairspray. Dancers do not need to wear their regular class leotard under their costume.
