Important Information for “Kaleidoscope of Color”
Dress Rehearsals and Concerts
For the Dress Rehearsals:
Please have your dancer arrive at Mitchell Hall at least 30 minutes before the scheduled time to finish getting ready. Dancers should have hair and make-up ready and wear their uniform leotard and tights under street clothing. Dance shoes should be brought in a bag to be put on at the theatre. The instructors will have additional costumes ready for dancers to put on after they arrive. Everyone MUST enter the building at the side door at the end of the handicap ramp. DO NOT enter through the lobby.
Dancers will meet with their teacher and classmates in the room at the bottom of the stairwell near the entrance except for the boys who will be taken to a different area to get ready. Since the downstairs room is girls only, we ask that fathers do not go down to this room. If you need assistance, we will have volunteers ready to escort and help with younger dancers.
Parents may enter the auditorium area through the doorway one flight down and watch their child's class rehearse. (On Sunday, this doorway may not be used for safety reasons. After leaving your dancers with the instructors, all parents must exit the building and enter through the lobby to present their tickets for the performance.)
After the dress rehearsal on stage, dancers will return to the downstairs room to take off their costume pieces and get ready to leave. Parents should meet their dancers in the downstairs room or ask for a volunteer to bring their dancers up to them.
For the Concerts on Sunday:
If your dancer performs in the first half of one of the concerts, please be sure to arrive at least 30 minutes before the start time of the concert. Enter through the stage door to bring your dancer to find their instructor and class, then exit through that door and enter through the lobby to present your tickets and find your seats. If your dancer only performs in the first half of the concert, at intermission you should leave through the lobby and come back through the stage door to retrieve your child. You may then take your dancer out to watch the second half of the performance with you.
If your dancer performs only in the second half of one of the concerts, have your dancer watch the first half with you in the audience then, at intermission, take your dancer out and around to the stage door and downstairs to get ready with their class. Please have your dancer ready for the performance but with their shoes in a bag.
If your dancer has two pieces in the same half of the concert, we will have volunteers to help them change. Parents remain in the auditorium and, for safety reasons, are only allowed downstairs at intermission, not while dancers are performing on stage.
Photography and recording of any kind are not allowed during the performance. Please review our policy and make sure that your friends and relatives are aware of it.
