Q: I have a scheduling
conflict and cannot perform in the recital. What should I do?
A:
Please notify Michelle and your instructor as soon as possible. Please also
note that costumes are not refundable if they have been purchased already.
|
Q: Can I join a recital
class that has already started?
A: You are more than
welcome to join a class at anytime. However, participation in the recital is not
guaranteed. In order to perform in the recital if joining a class mid-session,
instructor permission must be obtained, and a costume needs to be obtained prior to the
recital. Please note that many of the costumes are custom made-to-order and can take
up to 12 weeks to receive them.
|
Q: What if I have specific questions about the recital that were not answered here?
A: Please see your class instructor first. If your instructor cannot answer your questions, e-mail Miss Michelle.
|
Q: Do I perform on both days?
A:
It depends on which class you are in. Some classes perform on either Saturday
or NA. Other classes perform on both days. Please see the class performances chart to determine which day(s)
you will be performing.

Q: Where is the rehearsal
and recital?
A: The recital and the rehearsal are both at Upper
Merion High School. Directions
to Upper Merion High School.
|
Q: When will pictures be taken?
A: Pictures will be taken after the class is done performing during dress rehearsal. Both class and individual pictures will be taken at this time. |
Q: Do I have to go to the
rehearsal?
A: If you are performing in the recital, you must
be at the dress rehearsal. It is VERY important that you attend the rehearsal.
Rehearsal is the only chance you will get to practice your routine(s) onstage
before the recital. The stage is quite different from the studio, so it is best that
you try your routine out and work out the kinks before performing it in front of a large
audience. Another reason to be at the rehearsal is that it is going to be your only
chance to see all the other routines. During the recital, you will be backstage the
entire time.
|
Q: What time do I have to be at dress rehearsal and how long do I need to stay?
A: The time you need to be at dress rehearsal depends on which class(es) you are in. Please see the class performances chart for your arrival time(s). Arrival times for dress rehearsal are spaced in 60-90 minute blocks. Multiple classes will be arriving at the same time slot; we will run the show in order. To allow for spacing on stage as well as portraits, dancers need to arrive at their posted time may be there for the entire 60-90 minutes.
|
Q: Will there be a video of the
recital available?
A: Yes, a high quality video shot by a professional
videographer will be available for sale. Prices and order information are available at a later time. Please also note that video cameras will not be allowed in
the auditorium during the recital.
|
Q: How early can we show up at the high school for the recital?
A: The doors to the high school will open at 11:15 AM on Saturday
and at NA on NA. Please plan accordingly.
|
Q: Can my child leave the recital after he/she is done performing?
A: No. All dancers must remain signed in backstage for the duration of the show. All dancers will be brought back on stage for the curtain call/finale.
|
Q: Are parents allowed backstage
during the recital?
A: Only staff and volunteers are
allowed backstage during the recital. Parents may come backstage to pick up their
children after the recital.
