DRESS REHEARSAL & RECITAL FORMAT -
THE HOW , THE WHERE , & THE WHEN ! ! ! ! ! !

As the year-end performance approaches, we all share in the children's excitement and enthusiasm. Seeing the look on each child's face when they receive their costume, their thrill and sense of accomplishment of dancing on the big stage in front of an audience, you will see the only reason we have these performances is for the children.

DRESS REHEARSALS HELD AT THE ACT THEATRE
SUNDAY, JUNE 8TH, 2008 10:10:00 AM - 7:7:30 PM

ARRIVAL AND DISMISSAL TIMES WILL BE POSTED IN THE STUDIO LOBBY AND ON THE WEBSITE, ONE MONTH PRIOR TO THE DRESS REHEARSALS & RECITALS. PLEASE CHECK FOR YOUR CHILD'S INFORMATION AND ARRIVE 30 MINUTES EARLY, PREPARED TO DANCE. THANK YOU.

CLOSED DRESS REHEARSAL—DANCERS & CREW ONLY

It is the policy of the dance studio to hold a CLOSED DRESS REHEARSAL. Volunteers, parent supervisors, runners and staff ONLY will be permitted in the theatre during the rehearsal, in order to secure the safety of the students. A volunteer who will be supervising the children will attend to each group. It is important for us to have the children's undivided attention in this situation and we thank you for your support. We want the experience of dancing on the big stage to be an enjoyable one. The students also love watching other numbers that will be performed in the year-end show.

If, for reasons beyond your control, a family member is unable to attend any of the Recitals, special arrangements may be made to attend the Dress Rehearsal. The arrangements must be made at the studio front desk prior to the actual Dress Rehearsal. Based on the cost of renting the theatre, a small admission charge will be required to attend.

RECITAL TICKETS

Due to the regulations of the Act theatre, tickets will be available at their box office only. Phone 604 476-2787
Child $12.00   Adult $14.00

BASIC GUIDELINES FOR RECITAL FORMAT

CLASS ENROLLMENT

• STUDENTS ENROLLED IN CLASSES 5 YEARS & UNDER WILL DANCE IN ONE RECITAL
• STUDENTS ENROLLED IN CLASSES 6 YEARS & OLDER MAY DANCE IN TWO PERFORMANCES.

Due to the number of students enrolled in multiple classes and the sibling factor we cannot guarantee that family members will be in the same performances. Our main focus is to make the recital a special event for all families. Solos and duos may not be in the recital with the majority of the student group numbers. Please take the opportunity to see the dances in the competitions. Reminder that students doing numerous solos or duos will choose one to perform in the recital.

The programme will be displayed in the studio lobby and on the website one month prior to the actual recital date. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE check the programme to see in which performance your child is dancing. WE WANT YOU TO BE INFORMED!

DRESS REHEARSAL & RECITAL ETIQUETTE

• PLEASE DO NOT use flash cameras in the theatre during the performance. The students can not only become disoriented by the flash but this can also trigger seizures in some students. Please do not jeopardize their safety. Thank you.
• PLEASE NOTE: Dancers wishing to watch the remainder of the performance must have a purchased ticket for that particular performance due to fire regulations.
• PLEASE NOTE: Dancers wishing to watch the remainder of the performance must not wear their costumes into the theatre. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter
• PLEASE NOTE: Dancers signed out from backstage must understand that they will be unable to participate in the Grande Finale.
• PLEASE remember, parent supervisors and crew are volunteers and family members, who have volunteered their time for this event. Students are signed in and out during the recitals and dress rehearsals as a safety measure. We do not take your child's safety lightly and ask for your co-operation in this matter. If your child can only stay for a limited time, please inform your child's volunteer parent when signing them in. Thank you.

THE ACT'S POLICY

NEITHER FOOD NOR DRINK ARE TO BE CONSUMED IN THE THEATRE AREA, EITHER DURING THE DRESS REHEARSAL OR RECITALS. THEIR POLICY IS BACKED BY A $50 FINE FOR VIOLATORS. PLEASE BE ADVISED AND COMPLY WITH THEIR RULES AS FAILURE TO DO SO MAY ALSO RESULT IN A TICKET PRICE INCREASE. THANK YOU. STUDENTS MAY BRING BOTTLED WATER ONLY INTO THE MAIN THEATRE AND STUDIO THEATRE.

Please make sure the students have eaten and had pop or juice drinks prior to entering the ACT Theatre, Thank you. If you have any inquiries in this regard, we will be happy to provide you with the ACT Theatre's telephone number.

VIDEOS BY ART YOUNG VIDEO PRODUCTIONS

We are pleased to have Art Young Video Productions videotape all performances at The Act Theatre. Pre-Order forms will be available at the front desk the first week of May. These forms can be returned with payment to the front desk no later than June 15th. After the recital all order forms must be sent to Art Young. Art will be extending his order deadline to July 16th, videos ordered after this date will have an added surcharge.

Each year we ask for the help and support of parents, family and friends to volunteer their time for the dress rehearsal and recitals. Volunteering as a parent supervisor is a commitment of your time and energy. We need your help to put on a safe and successful performance. Please come and be a part of OUR TEAM.

A sign up sheet will be posted in the lobby one month prior to the dress rehearsal and recitals. We will be more than pleased to have your support and discuss the times best suited to you. A Volunteer Information Sheet is attached to this notice; it outlines the expectations of becoming a parent supervisor. The earlier you can get this back to us the better. It takes a lot of time to get our volunteers organized.

We thank all the past volunteers for all of their time and support. We really appreciate the dedication of our parents. Thank you.
