COSTUMES

All costumes have been ordered and will be given out as they arrive.. Costumes will be given out in class and should be kept (unworn) at home until the dress rehearsal.

DRESS REHEARSAL

There is a mandatory dress rehearsal on Friday June 14th. All dancers performing on June 15th must attend. The dress rehearsal takes place from 2:30pm-6:15pm, but your dancer will not be required to be there for the entire time and will be given an exact start time listed below. This is a very important step in the recital process as it is the dancers' only opportunity to rehearse on the stage. Dancers who do not attend the rehearsal might not be permitted to perform in the show.

​Please note that no regularly scheduled classes will be held on Friday June 14th.

ALL dancers participating in the recital must attend the dress rehearsal. This is our dancers' only opportunity to practice on the stage prior to the recital. We want our dancers to be as comfortable in this new space as possible, so it is extremely important that everyone attend. 

Below is a breakdown of Friday's rehearsal times by regular weekly class times. PLEASE ARRIVE DRESSED IN COSTUME AT LEAST 10 MINS BEFORE THE TIME LISTED BELOW FOR YOUR CLASS. Punctuality will ensure our rehearsal runs smoothly and quickly. Dancers are free to leave as soon as their class has rehearsed.

Check the schedule below to determine your rehearsal time on Friday, June 14. (For example, if my child is in the Wednesday 10:20am Budding Ballerinas class in Theatre 1, she will rehearse at 2:30pm).

You are free to leave the rehearsal as soon as your dancer has performed. Everyone's punctuality will help us keep the schedule on track.
 
WHAT IS THE DRESS REHEARSAL?
The dress rehearsal is our dancers' only opportunity to practice on the recital stage. It is a great time for our dancers to get acclimated to this new environment and it is therefore mandatory that all dancers attend. Please arrive dressed in costume at least 10 minutes before your scheduled time.

Please refer to the email previously sent to you to determine which costume your dancer should arrive in. For recital day, please bring their second costume (and shoes where applicable) CLEARLY MARKED with their name. We will have representatives to help them change between their numbers.

WHERE DO I DROP OFF MY DANCER ON RECITAL DAY, SATURDAY JUNE 15th?
Dancers should be dropped off in the UPPER LOBBY of BMCC TPAC. Walk up the ramp leading you onto the BMCC campus. Once there, you will find a DWMR representative who will direct your dancer and ONE ADULT to the drop off location, and your other guests to the main theatre entrance. Seating will begin 30 mins prior to curtain. 
 
WHAT TIME DO I DROP OFF MY DANCER ON RECITAL DAY?
You may begin dropping off your dancer 30 minutes prior to show time (shows are at 9:30am, 11:30am, 2:00pm, and 4:00pm, so you may begin to arrive at 9:00, 11:00, 1:30pm, and 3:30, respectively). We advise those with younger dancers to drop off closer to curtain time. 
*Parent Volunteers- please arrive 40 mins prior to your show time so we can lead you to your seats ahead of dancer arrival.*
 
BUDDING BALLERINAS (dancers 18-24 months old in a grownup & me ballet class) will remain seated in the audience with their families when not on stage. Arrive with your families and take your seats. At the beginning of the show, an announcement will be made telling one adult to bring your Budding Ballerina to the front of the theatre. Immediately following their number, pick up your dancer from the stage and join the rest of your group in their seats. 
 
WHAT SHOULD MY DANCER BRING ON RECITAL DAY?
Nothing but themselves! Your dancers should arrive IN COSTUME and should not bring any food, drink, or other items. Please make sure your dancer has used the bathroom prior to drop-off.

WHAT ARE THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR HAIR, TIGHTS AND SHOES?
We leave the hair-do up to you! Whatever your dancer is comfortable with is fine with us, however please do wear the bow/clip/headband that came with your costume. Unless you have been told otherwise, ballet classes wear PINK tights, Broadway Stars and Tutu Tap wear NUDE tights, Junior Broadway Co wears BLACK tights. Any color shoes are acceptable. 

CAN I PICK UP MY DANCER AFTER THEIR DANCE?
With the exception of our Budding Ballerinas (dancers 18-24 months old), dancers will remain backstage or seated in the theatre with the DWMR staff for the entirety of the recital. For safety reasons we do not allow ANY parent to pick up their dancer from backstage until the entire recital is complete. 
 
HOW LONG IS THE RECITAL?
Each recital should run no longer than 1 hour, 15 minutes. (This is our best guess based on previous years and amount of routines. Of course no one can predict these things with so many children involved!) 
 
WHERE DO I PICK UP MY DANCER AT THE END OF THE SHOW?
At the end of the show, an announcement will be made for one representative to exit to the rear of the theatre, where we will release all dancers. (Some of our older dancers will be seated in the theatre during the show. These dancers can be picked up right from their seats in the front of the theatre. Please listen for a specific announcement for these dancers' pick ups).

ARE CLASSES FINISHED AFTER THE RECITAL?
Yes! But join us for our Summer Classes and Programs!

WILL PHOTOS OR VIDEOS BE AVAILABLE OF THE RECITAL?
Yes! All four performances will be professionally captured on video and in photos, and will be available to purchase. See below for more info under "Videos & Photos".
