1. Before Leaving Your House:

· Dress your dancer in tights (if applicable) and costume, apply makeup (blush, eye-shadow, lipstick,), accessories (if included) and style hair according to instructions from teacher.
· Dancers may wear their dance shoes to the Stafford Center or they may put them on as soon as they arrive. If the dancer wears their street shoes into the Stafford Centre, they must take them off and put their dance shoes on before entering the dressing room and parents will need to hold onto the street shoes.
· Dancers in more than one dance will bring their other costume, shoes, and tights in a dress bag.
· Unless your child is on a very restricted diet or is very picky, there is NO need to pack snacks! We will provide snacks and water.
· Your child will not be able to bring any non-disposable possessions/items into the dressing rooms so please don’t send them with anything unless it is disposable! (Except their second costume if they are in another dance). We will have activities for them in the dressing room. Your child will be leaving directly from the stage after recital and will not be going back to the dressing room to get anything left there.

Please note on the sign in sheet whether you will be watching from the balcony or leaving the building so that the class volunteer can call or text you when your child is ready to be picked up.

3. Behind the Scenes/Backstage at Dress Rehearsal and Recital

Please meet your child in the lobby and check out with a class volunteer. If you have left the building and not watched dress rehearsal from the balcony, the class volunteer will call you when it is time to pick up your child and check out.
· We are not going to follow the show order for dress rehearsal . All Pre-Ballet, Ballet/Tap & Ballet/Jazz classes will go first to be allowed to leave as early as possible.
