Recital Saturday, June 2, 2012 — 4:30 and 6:30 PM 
Doors open for guests at 4 PM. 
Dancers should arrive 45 minutes prior to the start of their show 

Theatre doors will open for guests at 4 PM. Please do not attempt to enter the theatre prior to 4 PM as the technical crew will still be in the set-up process (running wires, etc.). Anyone found in the theatre prior to this time will be asked to leave and re-enter after 4 PM. Guests for the 6:30 PM show may enter after the theatre is cleared from the earlier show.

Location: West Bloomfield High School Auditorium
Orchard Lake Road between Walnut (16 Mile) and Lone Pine (17 Mile)

Format: We present two unique shows with a break between shows. The 4:30 PM Show features our youngest dancers and runs approximately 1.5 hours. The 6:30 PM show features our older dancers and will run approximately 1.5 hours. Please check the programs posted at the studio to determine which show(s) your dancer(s) are slated for.

Admission: All guests (including parents) must purchase a ticket. Complimentary tickets for the 6:30 PM show will be provided to guests with dancers in both shows, provided they have purchased tickets for the 4:30 PM show.

TICKET PRICES:
$10 each, Open Seating
$50 for a set of 6 tickets, Open Seating
$80 for a set of 10 tickets, Open Seating

Program: Business Ads, $10 each, and Dancer messages, $1 each, will be accepted for inclusion in the program. Deadline for submission is May 10, 2011.

Flowers: $10 Bouquets will be on sale in the lobby. Since we usually sell-out, we will accept pre-orders this year at the studio up until May 20th to guarantee availability.

Photos: No flash photography during the performances. Guests who do not cooperate with this request may be asked to leave the theatre. Flashes interfere with the proper functioning of the video equipment and are a danger to the dancers.

Video: Both shows will be professionally filmed and edited together into one final version. Videos orders can be placed at the studio, at dress rehearsal, or in the theatre lobby before, during, and after the shows. Checks for $25 for DVD (no VHS available) should be made payable to Gary Wrobleski. Your order will be mailed to your home within 6-8 weeks of the show. NO PERSONAL VIDEO TAPING WILL BE ALLOWED ON RECITAL NIGHT. Guests who do not cooperate with this request may be asked to leave the theatre. We thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Backstage Protocol: We request parents to remain in the audience during the shows. Dedicated Adult dressing room supervision for each class of younger dancers will be provided. They will handle costume changes, etc. Dancers are NOT allowed in the audience at any time during the performance of their show. Parents may collect their dancers in the dressing rooms after the finale. We request parents to equip the younger dancers with coloring books and crayons, as well as crackers and "clear" drinks to occupy their time backstage.

  • Dressing Room Assignments will be posted next to each dressing room door.
  • Items to bring: bobby pins, hair ties, safety pins, makeup, comb/brush, hair spray, baby powder (for itchy sequins), costumes, headpieces, other costume accessories, tights/socks and clean dance shoes.
  • Costume instruction sheets will be distributed to each dancer. Please refer to these sheets for specific information regarding make-up, hair, shoes, tights, etc.
  • Preliminary copies of the program will be posted at the studio by the beginning of April. Please check these programs to: a. determine which show(s) your dancers are in; b. to check for proper name spelling and correct where necessary; c. check that there is sufficient time between numbers for costume changes and advise if you see an issue.

Volunteers Needed: Volunteer parents are needed to help either in the dressing rooms, or in the lobby on recital night. We also need some volunteers to help with misc. jobs on dress rehearsal night. If you are interested, please contact Miss Lisa. Two complimentary show tickets will be provided to each volunteer.
