Winter Show Checklist:

  • No normal class on Thursday 12/4 or Saturday 12/6 dancers 

BE SURE YOU KNOW THE FOLLOWING BEFORE DRESS REHEARSAL: 

  • Do you know when your dress rehearsal is? 

  • Do you know when your call time is for both the dress rehearsal and the show? 

  • Do you know where the dress rehearsal and recital is being held?

  • Do you know what costume your dancer is wearing for their dance or dances?

  • Do you have the correct shoes for the recital? 

  • Do you know how their hair and make up should be?

  • Do you know if they are wearing tights? 

  • Have you gotten their large plastic bag prepared for their shoes backstage?

  • Have you put their names in their shoes in case they get misplaced backstage?

Winter Show Information: 

The studio will provide water bottles, snacks, and activities backstage. 

Note any student with allergy restrictions should bring 1-2 of their own snacks per day.

We will be showing the following movie in the choir room to help keep everyone entertained:

The Grinch 

Auditorium Parking Information: 

  • Come through the middle entrance to the middle parking lot located by the bear

    • If you go to the upper parking lot - walk down the stairs to the doors by the bear 

    • If you go to the lower parking lot - walk around the building to the doors by the bear 

    • DO NOT PARK ALONG THE LOOP - YOU WILL BE TOWED

Drop Off: 

When you enter the school, volunteers will be waiting to bring your dancer backstage. Volunteers and SunDance staff will be wearing black shirts that say “SUNDANCE RECITAL STAFF”. Please let the volunteer know which backstage group your child is in: BLACK BOX or CHOIR ROOM. The volunteer will walk your dancer backstage and ensure they get to their designated volunteer. Please be patient as we ensure every dancer finds their backstage parent volunteer safely. 

*you will receive a separate email letting you know which room (black box or choir room) your students class is in. 

Pick Up: 

Both at Dress Rehearsal and Recital, dancers will be released in two separate locations.

Dancers in the Blackbox will be released from the left hand hallway, farthest from the cafeteria. Students coming from the Blackbox must be picked up in the lobby BY A PARENT not a sibling, and will not be permitted to leave the school for curb side pickup. 

Dancers in the Choir Room will need to be picked up directly from the choir room. You can access the choir room via the cafeteria on the right hand side of the auditorium. Please form a line, and we will release dancers as their parents approach the door. This will be crowded and a bit time consuming, so we ask for your patience as we ensure every dancer gets to their parents safely.
