Dancer Reminders for Nutcracker Week!

REMINDERS FOR ALL DANCERS 

No food or drink in costume.  No food or drink in the auditorium.   Bringing a water bottle that doesn't leak or spill is a good idea, just make sure to get your drinks after you've changed out of costumes.

NO GUM.  AT ALL.  Sadly, we did have one problem with gum getting on a costume last year.  We don't want that to happen again!

Girls with buns need hair nets over their buns (available at Sally's).  **Buffoons probably don't need hair nets just make sure their little buns are neat.

Party boys, remember your white socks and black shoes.

Soldiers remember black shoes.

You will need performance hair and makeup at all rehearsals and performances next week - please review hair and makeup guidelines.

No nail polish, and if at all possible, no glasses.

Extra hair pins and hairspray should be in your bag.  Snow dancers, bring some safety pins for those sashes.

Nude leotards are a MUST for girls.

Please no walking around in nude leotards.  When you are not in costume, you should have clothes over your leotard.

There will be no changing allowed in the bathrooms.

Please make sure you have clean tights, with no holes or runs in them.  A spare pare to have on hand would be smart.

Monday, take the opportunity to sit (QUIETLY, NO TALKING) in the auditorium to watch any acts that you haven't seen yet!

Wed - Saturday, once in the dressing room, dancers must stay there, no going in and out of the room.  At this school the only dressing room is actually near the entrance door/ticket tables, so this is especially important.

You are expected to be respectful to directors, volunteers, and other dancers.  That means being polite, listening, being where you're supposed to be, following rules, and keeping the backstage room calm and quiet.

REMEMBER:  When you are on the wings of the stage, you need to stay FAR BACK.  Farther than  you think.  The rule is: IF YOU CAN SEE PEOPLE, THEY CAN SEE YOU.  Do not be 'on stage' before you are meant to be on stage.  (Parents please review this with your dancer).

Let your family and friends know that auditorium doors will open at 6:30, ticket sales will start before then, and it would be wise to get their early!

We hope everyone is excited about next week's performances!
