MORE RECITAL AND SHOW INFORMATION for both shows
Tickets will be available for purchase online, and we plan to open ticket sales mid-April.
Since we are expecting all of the shows to be very full and well-attended, everyone will need a purchased ticket to watch the performance in the theater, and the ticket prices covers our cost to rent the theater and the theater staff of West Linn High School. All dancers should arrive 45minutes prior to show time, with hair and make-up ready. Please no flash photography during the performance.

HAIR, MAKE -UP, SHOES AND TIGHTS for everyone
During the dress rehearsal and recital, we will require full hair, makeup and costumes. Head to toe! The dancers should rehearse hairstyles and costume changes, as you know practice makes “performance”! The stage lights are professional quality and can really drown out your dancer’s facial features, so stage make up is essential. This consists of foundation, pink blush, black eyeliner, mascara, and red lips. Team dancers may have more specific requirements. For our classes, the hair assignments will come out with the rehearsal and recital line up! All ballet classes need ballet pink tights and pink leather ballet shoes, laces tied and tucked in. Most ballet costumes come with tights this season.

RECITAL HINTS for everyone
-Prior to recital, please remove nail polish.
-Make a list of your dancer’s costumes, write your child’s name in the tag of each costume piece, and bring all costumes to rehearsal/recital, including shoes and accessories.
-Secure all hair pieces with bobby pins.
-Bring water and non-messy snacks for your dancer, for in between numbers.
-If dancers have multiple dance numbers, having a tan leotard under costumes for quick changes is helpful.
-Set out everything in the dressing room for quick changes!
-Parents are allowed to help in the dressing room if needed! Our stage managers will take the kids backstage.
