Hi Dance Families! It’s Showtime!!!
 
The time is here! Recital Day is coming Saturday, June 14th! Please read this entire newsletter, as it has specifics about what will happen the day of the show and which show your dancer is in! If you are new to the studio or have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to us! We want to make your and your dancers' special day wonderful! Below is a list of classes for our 22nd Anniversary Recital on Saturday, June 14th. There will be three separate shows, the Junior show at 11am, the Senior show 2pm Saturday, and the MHD Student Showcase at 7pm Saturday. Each show is a separate admission.
 
***Please check which show your child is in before purchasing tickets!***
 
If you are attending multiple shows, your party will need to relocate for a short time between shows and you will be reseated upon returning. We ask that you sign out your dancer after curtain call. Because the show is at the Sugar Loaf Performing Arts Center, there will be no limit on the number of tickets you can purchase! We do ask that everyone stays seated during the performance until the show is over, as all dancers will be in our finale curtain call!

SHOWTIME: Attached is our full schedule of routines and their corresponding Shows, with hair/makeup/tights/shoe requirements included. We have all tights, shoes, and dance gear available at our MHD Boutique! Here are some policy directions to help make the day a successful one!
 
● 1. DROP OFF POLICY: Please drop off your dancer 1 hour before their first show in which they are performing, already dressed in their costume for their first routine, with hair/makeup already done. One parent may escort your dancer backstage to help them set up, but they must leave by half hour to showtime. For each dancer under the age of 7, one parent will be given a bracelet with their dancers name which they will also use for sign out. All dancers MUST wear nude undergarments under their costumes as we have male and female dancers with quick changes. These are available for purchase at the studio if you need them. If your child has more than one number please label everything and send a bin or a garment bag to help them stay organized. Send clear liquids and non-messy snacks so that costumes are preserved for performance. Children will not be allowed to go into the audience during the show.
 
● 2. MAKE-UP/HAIR: Make-up requirements for all Girls: please have your child wear rosy cheeks, red lipstick and colorful eyeshadow that brings out your child’s features on stage. Older students need eyeliner and mascara as well. Boys: a small amount of brown eyeliner and blush to bring out their features. See tight and shoe requirements attached. All dancers should wear their hair in a slick low ponytail with a middle part. Company dancers: Gold and silver eyelid with a black Smokey eye, blush and red Lipstick.
 
● 3. RECITAL BOUTIQUE/VIDEO POLICY: Our Recital Boutique will have flowers, recital plushies, and lots of MHD merchandise! We will be videotaping the Recital and will have a digital copy of the recital available to everyone for $25. Order forms for Recital Videos and Recital T-shirts will be available at the box office! Please note video recording and photography of any kind is strictly prohibited at all shows.
