Please purchase tickets early due to limited seating.
On April 28th Running N HeelsPhotography will be onsite at the dance studio to take group and individual pictures of the dancers. Package pricing and the photography schedule, which corresponds to your child’s classes will be posted very soon.
There will be one day of rehearsal at Braden. Cinderella rehearsal will start promptly with cast call at 5:00 for company and 5:45 for non company members on Thursday, May 3rD. Barre will start at 5:15 for company members.
There is limited space backstage at the facility, but we will have designated parent volunteers to assist. Parents will not be allowed to remain backstage. The dressing room is directly off the backstage area. Please be respectful of the directions given by the volunteers. It is necessary to keep the noise level down backstage.
We have included instructions for shoes, tights, hair and makeup in the packet. Unless specifically stated otherwise, all female dancers should wear a nude leotard (also known as a “nudie”) under their costumes.
When you pick up your dancer, please take time to clean up any trash, bobby pins, or other items you brought with you. After their performance, your dancer may sit with you in the auditorium for the remainder of the show if you have purchased a ticket for them. Please do not allow your child to eat or drink in their costume!
The show is being professionally videotaped by Wolfhaven Productions, and those forms are available online or at the studio. Orders can be turned in any time between now and the end of the performance on May 4th. Please make checks payable to TCSD Parent Guild No videotaping will be allowed during dress rehearsals or the show and as always, for the safety of all of our dancers, flash photography is not allowed at any time. NO GLITTER OF ANY KIND FOR BODY OR EYE MAKEUP. If you have any other questions please contact the office.
