After each class picture is done dancers will be able to practice their dance one or two times. All performers must wear their makeup and hair the way it is going to be for the performance (each teacher will check the dancers for proper hair, makeup and tights). Please be dressed and ready to go by your class time. Feel free to videotape the dress rehearsal at the studio. This will take the place of your regular class.

To order pictures Anderson Studio’s will have envelopes to pre-order. Bring your envelope to the studio dress rehearsal/pictures to order. Envelopes will be available at the CK office.

ROOM MOMS/CHAPARONES

Room moms are essential to making the day stress free for the dancers. The chaperone is in charge of keeping the class together, make sure everyone is ready to perform, and release students to parents. Please let us know if you are interested. We need one or two for each class.

Yes, you will be able to watch the show. When it's time for your class to go up to the stage you will walk them to the theater door. There you are greeted by a CK staffer. You have the choice to come back stage and watch or to go to the front of the house and watch. You will not need to buy a ticket.

DVD’S

For the safety of the performers and comfort of the audience, videotaping of the show is not allowed and no flash photography. Mid America will record the show and add a bonus picture disk of the rehearsal ($30). You can order your video performance day.

TICKETS

Tickets will be available for sale starting April 1st. Ticket prices are $10 + $2.25 service fee. All tickets will be ordered online and are reserved seating. There are absolutely no refunds of tickets. Every person needs a ticket no matter what age they are. Lap children do not need a ticket. If you need to purchase tickets for both shows you will qualify for discount tickets. To purchase tickets visit www.shovation.com or facebook.com/CKDanceAcademy.

THE PERFORMANCE

· Make sure every performer goes to the restroom and eats breakfast before they’re checked in..

· Have your performer dressed in their costume with hair and makeup done. Specific hair instructions will come from your instructor. The bright stage lights can wash out faces, so we do ask that everyone wears some makeup.

· Remember correct color tights, shoes and all parts of their costume. Please LABEL all pieces.

· Performers should be dropped off in the cafeteria on the first floor and be checked in with designated chaperone. Performers will be backstage with their chaperone for the entire show; no performer will be allowed to leave before the show is over.

· When the show is over, send ONE person to pick up your child and check out with your chaperone. Chaperones will stay with the group until all of the children have been checked out.

· Planning a meeting spot with family for hugs and congratulations is a great idea.

· Flash cameras are prohibited in the auditorium as well as digital cameras with light up displays (LCD screens). Please tell any friends and family that come with you that no cameras are allowed in the auditorium. You may take pictures after the show.

After the morning show is complete, those who bought am tickets are welcome to keep their seats. They will need to retrieve their dancer from backstage. Everyone else who wants to see this show are welcome to come in and fill up the theater. There are no tickets it's FREE!

The CK Dance Company has been performing this show since last fall. They learned it this summer and have performed it at Roca Berry Farm, Pinnacle Bank Arena, nursing homes, and they will perform this summer a few more times. This is our way of giving back to the community, exposing dancers to Lincoln events, honing performance skills and just having fun.

We have had so much fun putting on this show and are excited to present it to the rest of the studio. I hope you will all come early or stay.

Costume Care and Appearance Tips

Costume Care

As soon as possible upon receipt, costumes should be removed from their bags, tried on and hung up at home. Costumes with tutus should be hung upside down to stay as fuffly as possible. Wrinkles may be removed by steaming or hanging in the bathroom during shower time. In addition to this newsletter, you have received a picture of the costume with information regarding accessories, etc. If you are unsure what to do with a specific costume piece, please feel free to call the studio.

Please take the short amount of time necessary to be sure everything will be secured properly for the rehearsal and recital weekend so you can enjoy watching your child dance, not fuss with the costume. Routines go by very quickly when students are on stage and young ones are distracted by straps that slip off or headpieces that are unsecure.

Please discuss with your child the importance of their costume and that it is not to be used for play or dress up before rehearsal and recital. With this in mind, we ask that you place your child’s costume(s) in a safe place as soon as they have been tried on once, and after any necessary alterations have been made. If anything gets lost or damaged before the show there will be no time to replace it.

Be sure to label all pieces of your child’s costume(s). This includes tights, shoes and headpieces.

A MASTER RECITAL CHART WILL BE POSTED CLOSER TO RECITAL. This chart will include, show order, hair style, tight color, and shoes to be worn for each class.

Hair

Hair/Headpieces-Hair will be worn differently with each class based upon the routines, it is not always as it appears on the costume picture. If your child’s hair is too short for the designated style, simply pull it off the face (behind the ears) as much as possible. Please do not wear any additional hair accessories that are not provided with your child’s costume.

Ballet/Tap and Ballet/Tap/Jazz classes- Half back/partial ponytail (bangs okay)- for a “half back” hair style, use a tight ponytail holder that matches hair color, pull the front and sides of hair into a small ponytail at the crown of the head. All remaining hair will be left hanging down in the back, behind the ears.

Low ponytail-Hair should be pulled completely back into a ponytail at the base of the hairline. Beginning with wet hair will make it easier to slick back bangs-there should be no loose pieces, or ringlets hanging in the face. Use a tight ponytail holder and spring clips that matches hair color and keep hair smooth by using gel and spray.

Makeup and Extras

Makeup should appear heavy to the eye-once on stage and under the lights it will not appear as dark. (Parents of small children may use their discretion regarding amount of makeup to be worn. Makeup for small children is not required.) If wearing makeup, please follow the guidelines below.
