Dancers must remain backstage for the entire duration of dress rehearsal.
Drop Off
Dancers should arrive to dress rehearsal/recitals at their designated times in their costume, tights and appropriate dance shoes with hair and make-up done. For specific times, which costume/dance shoes your dancer should arrive in, which costume/dance shoes to bring (if they are in multiple routines) and how hair/make up should be done, refer to the resource in your Parent Portal labeled "Picture Day/Dress Rehearsal/Recital."
All dancers MUST USE THE RESTROOM immediately prior to being dropped off backstage. Dancers should not bring food, beverages (other than water), gum, toys, jackets, street shoes backstage -- leave all belongings with a parent/guardian. Prime Technique Dance Academy is not responsible for lost, stolen or damaged personal items. All costumes/dance shoes, whether worn or carried in, MUST BE LABELED with your dancer’s name. Only dancers, Staff and volunteers will be allowed backstage.
Pick Up
The week prior to recital, parent/guardians will be provided one wristband for their dancer(s) if they are in Pre Ballet, Junior, Kinder, Beginner or Intermediate classes. DO NOT LOSE THIS WRISTBAND – at the conclusion of dress rehearsal and recitals, we will announce which dressing rooms are ready for pick up and only the parent/guardian with the wristband will be allowed backstage to pick up their dancer. We ask that you locate your dancer as quickly as possible, assist them with cleaning the area they occupied, inform your dancers Room Mom that your dancer is leaving and exit the backstage area in the same direction that you entered as quickly as possible. Miss Breanna will stop parents/guardians to confirm wristbands match each dancer. Please be patient with this process!
If you lose your wristband, you will need to wait in the lobby until all the other students have been dismissed before your dancer is brought out to you. Please do not approach the backstage door unless you have a wristband!
Advanced, Elite and Senior dancers will be dismissed to the lobby AFTER the younger classes are dismissed.
Costume
Costumes and/or recital tights should be hung in a safe spot to avoid wrinkles and not be worn except for picture day, dress rehearsal and recital. Costumes must be in new condition without any alterations/additions (unless sizing alterations are necessary – costumes are not custom fitted, so you’ll want to have your dancer try her costume on to check if minor alterations are needed. Dancers with lost or damaged costumes will be unable to perform. Costumes will not be given to dancers with outstanding balances.
Dancers must wear the tights provided with their costume. Other than a nude sports bra for older dancers and/or a nude camisole leotard for coverage during quick costume changes (optional), additional undergarments/underwear are not necessary when wearing leotards and costumes – tights are a dancer’s “undergarments.”
The appropriate shoes MUST be worn in the specific colors listed below:
Absolutely no jewelry (necklaces, bracelets, rings, hats, bows) other than stud earrings should be worn.
Hair/Makeup
Girls in Pre, Kinder, Junior and Beginner levels should have their hair in a high bun on top of the head with loose hair/bangs secured back in a slick manner with hairspray or bobby pins (search “sock bun” tutorials on YouTube). Girls in Intermediate, Advanced, Elite and Senior levels should have their hair in a low bun with a part on the dancers' right side in a slick manner with hairspray or bobby pins. Short hair that does not reach a bun should be pulled back into a ponytail as much as possible and secured with hairspray or bobby pins. Boys with long hair should secure it in a low ponytail.
It is common to wear stage make-up (foundation, pink blush, neutral colored eyeshadow, black eyeliner, black mascara, and red lipstick) during performances. This prevents the face from looking “washed out” under stage lighting. However, we recognize that this is a personal decision, so make-up is optional, and parents are encouraged to only apply as much make-up as they feel comfortable.
Tickets/Recital Shirts/Digital Copies/Flowers
Recital tickets go on sale Tuesday, December 3rd at 9:00 am, and all ticket sales will be handled through our online ticketing service.

All tickets must be pre-purchased through Shovation, and all tickets are nonrefundable and nontransferable.
To ensure everyone can purchase tickets, codes will allow each family to purchase the following number of tickets based on which show their dancer(s) is in:

Room Mom Volunteers
We are looking for 1-2 highly motivated mothers per class/level to volunteer backstage! Room Moms arrive 10 minutes prior to dress rehearsal and recital drop off times, supervise all dancers in their assigned class for the entirety of dress rehearsal and recital, sign dancers out at pick up times, assist with costume and shoe changes and escort dancers to and from the stage. Room moms will get to see their dancer perform.
You will be notified via email if your dancers' class still needs a Room Mom. If you are interested in being a Room Mom, AND your dancer’s class needs one, please reach out to Miss Breanna for a volunteer form to return by December 8th. Being a Room Mom is a great memory making opportunity, but we truly count on our volunteers to keep our dancers safe and help the recital run smoothly – if you are interested in helping, please be prepared for a fun-filled but very fast paced day!
Interested in helping, but not sure if you want to be a Room Mom? Or does your child’s class already have a Room Mom? We may also need “Overflow Room Moms” (Room Moms who assist with another class in the same dressing room as their child’s class) or flower sales (great role for male family members!). Please email us if any of these job interest you!
Video/Photography
Dancers will have photos taken in their costumes at the studio on the days listed below by Leonhardt Photography (for your convenience, your dancers Picture Day will remain on the same day that they usually have dance, with a slightly modified time). Dancers may wear their hair how they like, but tights, costume and shoes must match recital day requirements. You will receive access to password protected picture proofs within ~3-4 weeks and can order digital copies of photos thru January 31st. Digital copies of photos include all printing rights and the ability to share with family and friends. While photos are being taken, only dancers and Prime Technique Dance Academy staff members will be allowed in the classroom. Due to time limitations, we may not be able to accommodate special requests (i.e. photos with siblings, friends, etc.).

For the safety of our dancers, photography and videography of the recital is NOT allowed under any circumstance. Audience members found taking photos or recording will be asked to leave.
In addition to turning off or silencing all electronic devices and refraining from taking photos and videos, we ask that all audience members remain in their reserved seat for the duration of the show. It is incredibly important that the aisles and exit remain clear. If you must leave, we ask that you do so in between routines.
As always if you have any questions or concerns regarding the recital, please let us know. We are here to help and want this performance opportunity to be a positive experience for everyone!
