Recital Acts
The recital is split into 2 acts (Act 1 & Act 2). All younger dancers will be part of our tribute in Act 1. This year’s tribute is
‘A Magical Evening’
Recital Order
Please look over the recital order to ensure your child has at least 3 dances between each dance. If your child has less
than 5 dances then they are considered 'quick change'. All quick change dancers must notify the office to be signed up
on the quick change board. Quick change dancers must come to the green room, which is located backstage at the
theatre at the time of drop off. We will have parents assigned for dancers with quick changes. There may be a few
changes made to the order. The final order will be posted on our website and the studio lobby in April.

Act 2 Finale
Finales
All dancers (not including Mini Dance classes) will perform in the Act 1 finale (approx. 1 hour after the show starts) or the
Act 2 finale (approx. 2 hours after the show starts). If dancers are in both Act 1 & 2 then they will perform in the Act 2
finale. Dancers will be lined up with their last class and come on the stage for a final bow.
Act 1 finale (before the intermission)-this will involve all dancers (not including Mini Dance classes) in Act 1
Act 2 finale (at the end of the show) - this will involve all dancers in Act 2
Rehearsal (at Markham Theatre)
All students must attend a rehearsal at Markham Theatre on Monday May 4th . Dancers must come to the rehearsal
ready to dance (proper dance clothes & shoes). It is a good idea to arrive at the rehearsal 15min. early. Costumes
are not needed for the rehearsal. Dancers must enter the theatre using the stage door to the left of the theatre. Parents
may wait for their children in the rehearsal area. Parents will not be allowed into the theatre to watch. We prefer one
parent per child so it doesn’t get too busy in rehearsal area.
If your child is in more than one dance it is a good idea to bring some activities (games, colouring books...) and snacks
(no peanut products)

Recital Order
Attached is the recital order with the dancers names. Please look over the order to make sure we have your child’s name
correct.
Backstage Area
We try our very best to keep the backstage area as quite and calm as possible. We have a great team of backstage
helpers for both the parents and dancers.
In order to make this year’s recital another success it is very important that you read over a few backstage guidelines.

Some classes will be held backstage in the rehearsal hall and some classes will be in the upstairs theatre
changerooms. Dancers must use the stage door to the left of the theatre when entering

Please no juice or pop backstage. Only water!

Please make sure you read over the drop off and pick up rules

Only Parent Volunteers with a pass will be allowed in the rehearsal hall & backstage area

No parents will be allowed at the side of the stage to watch dances
Recital Volunteers
* In order for things to run smoothly we ask all mothers to sign up for one of the three performances.
All classes will be assigned 2 parent volunteers. (Parents of mini dance classes are welcome to stay with their child)
Parent Volunteer Duties
- Volunteers must come to the theatre 30 min. prior to the class drop off time
- you will be given a class list with all the dancers that you will be watching
- it is very important that you go over any quick changes with the dancers that are in multiple dances.
- if you have a child in your group that is in 2 dances you must change them into their next costume and bring them to
their next group
- it is very important that you stay with all the dancers until they are picked up
- all volunteers will be given a backstage pass the day of the show
Volunteer Sign Up
We will have boards on the wall in studio A during picture week for parents to sign up to help. You can also drop off form
attached in main office. Please remember to send your child’s name, dance and show date & time you would like to
volunteer for. * No men will be allowed in changerooms or rehearsal hall since dancers will be changing.
Pick Up & Drop Off (the day of the recital)
Safety is our number one concern so all parents must be patient when dropping off and picking up your child.
Please arrive to the theatre with your child's hair and makeup done. You must sign your child in with their first dance.
Please let your child’s volunteer know if your child has any other dances or quick changes. Parents may pick up
younger children after the first act. Parents must wait until all dancers are back with their volunteers before they are
picked up. Parents must pick up their performers in the same area they dropped them off.
** We ask that one family member drops off & picks up dancers backstage
