Dress Rehearsal:
All students arrive in their first costume at 9:00 a.m. with hair and accessories (no jewelry except small earrings) at the SOUTH ENTRANCE doors of the Tempe Performing Arts Center (Please refer to the order of routines attached). Stage parents will be waiting for your child. You will sign in your child with security and you may go to the audience to view the rehearsal if you would like. Only stage volunteers are aloud backstage. DON’T forget DANCE SHOES! All dancers must wear flesh colored dance tights (gymnastics class wears tights that stop at the ankle). If your child is in more than one dance, all other costumes must be labeled (white tape works well) with the student’s name and dance on it. It is highly recommended to have a garment/dance bag with all of your child’s costumes in your child’s hands. Please put all accessories to costumes (bows, shoe ties, etc.) in a plastic baggie with your costume bag. Don’t forget tap/ballet shoes and flesh colored tights. Please put your child’s name on his/her shoes! Make surehair bows are safely pinned. If a hair bow falls off during a dance routine, it can really upset our little ones! Dancers will be released to parents at the end of the show at the South ramp of the main lobby. Stage parents will be waiting with your dancers to deliver them back to you.

We are still welcoming more stage help; stage moms will receive a special gift Stage moms are the ONLY parents aloud backstage or in the dressing rooms. Stage moms will be wearing badges and children will be signing in and out with security when you drop them at the stage doors. If you are not a stage mom, please be seated in the auditorium while you enjoy the show. All dancers must remain back stage for the entire show. Releasing dancers prior to the end of the show is a serious safety hazard. Please do not leave early; we want you to enjoy the show! After dress rehearsal, we will announce for you to pick up your dancers at the South entrance/security checkpoint. Please have this document handy with your order of routines as a reference. Dress rehearsal should finish by approximately 12:30 p.m. Stage moms: please have bobby pins & safety pins handy. Also, make sure all your dancers’ shoes are tied at all times!!
