All students participate in our End of Year Concert and students work on these routines each week in class, developing their skills in the process and learning the importance of rehearsal, commitment, performance techniques and teamwork.

In terms of attendance, it is very important that students do not miss any of their scheduled classes between now and concert time so they can spend their rehearsal time together to perform their routines, feel confident and look amazing. Of course, this is only if it can’t be helped and in line with studio guidelines. If for any reason your child will miss a number of their regular classes in Term 4, we ask that you contact reception to let us know in advance.

If there is any reason why your child will not be able to perform at the concert on the dates and times provided, please let us know so we can make amendments to the class routines involving them.

A concert fee of $90.00 per student will be payable. This will be debited along with your remaining costume fee on 6th November. Students who have not paid their concert fee will be unable to perform in the concert.

Please see attached breakdown of costume Fee's. Final Costume Fee will be debited along with your Performer Fee on 6th November. COSTUME FEE BREAKDOWN

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask us. We will ensure that we talk you through the concert day procedure again in the weeks leading up to the concert.

SECURITY & STUDENT SAFETY

As always, the safety of our dance family is our #1 priority. On concert day all students will need to be signed in / out of security lists to gain access backstage. All backstage helpers will be issued with security passes that are required to be worn at all times. We are unable to run messages or food to students, so please make sure they have everything before dropping them off. Please try not to bring anything valuable, especially electronic devices. Mobile phones are not to be taken backstage or in the changing areas during the concert. Our studio will take no responsibility if an item is damaged, misplaced, lost or stolen.

HAIR

Dancers will require a middle part, slick back low bun.

You will need to use a lot of hairspray/gel and a fine tooth comb to achieve the slick look and possibly multiple elastics. Please also use an elastic the same colour as their hair.

Please note, for boys neat and tidy hair is all that is required. No colours or crazy hairstyles please.

MAKEUP

Stage makeup needs to be heavier than normal day makeup. Please try not to cake it on or make it look like a mask as this does not look natural on stage.

Apply make-up base. Foundation needs to be darker than what their normal shade would be. Apply pinkish brown tone blush to cheekbones.

Apply brown eye shadow on lid – work from the inside corner along the lash line.

Add black mascara to both top and bottom lashes.

JEWELLERY

Diamonte studs are recommended

WHAT TO BRING

FOOD & DRINK

PACKING CHECKLIST

It is suggested that students bring all of their belongings in a small plastic box. It is much easier than rummaging through a bag. Please write their names all over the box and on everything that they bring, every year we have so many pairs of dance shoes and uniforms lost that are never claimed. Please use the following checklist:

Stockings and dance underwear (wear on arrival)

Concert t-shirt and black bottoms for finale (wear on arrival)

Shoes

Makeup for touch-ups

Extra bobby pins, safety pins, hair spray, elastics

Water, water and more water

Students may want to bring a small quiet game, book or something to keep them amused.
