Recital 2017: "Hooray for Hollywood"
2017-06-25 | BMC Durfee High School, 360 Elsbree Street, Fall River, MA, 02720, United States
General Rules

Please do your best to follow all of the rules. They are all set forth for a reason. If we all work together we can make it a great experience for everyone!
No food or drinks allowed in the auditorium. Dancers/audience may bring in water.
Costumes worn out of the dressing area MUST BE COVERED!!! You can wear your Recital t-shirt over costume. The show is a surprise to our audience and we want to keep it that way by covering our costumes.
Enter and exit auditorium during dance change only. Doors WILL NOT be opened during a dance!! The door will be monitored and this rule will be enforced.
If someone is holding the door shut during a performance do not bang on it and try to push it open
NO NAIL/TOE POLISH!
No earrings, body jewelry, rings, bracelets or jewelry of any kind!!
No sitting on the floor or the aisle during Recital. Everyone must purchase a ticket.
No walking in front of the stage or in front of the teacher’s table near front row. We have wires running to stage and don’t want anyone to fall.
Please be courteous to others and do not bring big balloons, stuffed animals, etc. into the Recital as they will block others view.
Parents of little ones- Your children will be lined up in the hallway in front of the door to backstage. You may stay with them until they go backstage. NO PARENTS ARE ALLOWED BACKSTAGE. After their dance please come retrieve them from that same hallway.
You will be required to get your child to the hallway 5 numbers before their routine. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR CHILD IS READY TO PERFORM, WE DO NOT HOLD THE SHOW IF NOT EVERYONE IS THERE.
If your child does not make it on the stage in time they will not be allowed to run on in the middle of the dance

Photography/Videotaping

NO VIDEOTAPING/PHOTOGRAPHY ALLOWED DURING THE RECITAL!!!!
You may videotape/take pictures at the rehearsal and dress rehearsal only.
Flash photography and a sea of little red lights are very distracting to the dancers and therefore

are not allowed. Anyone seen videotaping/photographing during Recital will be asked to leave.

Pictures may be taken in the foyer area or after the show.
Recital DVD’s will be available for purchase.

Arrival/Departure

Students are expected to arrive one hour prior to each show start time to get in full make-up and hair.
COSTUMES DO NOT NEED TO BE WORN TO THE SCHOOL. It is your choice whether or not to have your child arrive in costume but keep in mind what could happen to it on the way to the school (i.e. wrinkling). They also must be covered with something (i.e. Recital t-shirt) so the audience cannot see the costume.
If a student is not there in time the show will start as expected. We will not hold a dance if you are late.
For the little ones, once your dance is completed you may leave as long as you are not in the finale. Please note if you leave you must come back and perform in the second show.

Hair, Make up, & Costume Guidelines

Girl’s Hair

Hair must be neatly tied back in a low bun (hairnet must be worn around bun)

Costumes have been steamed prior to you receiving so please leave hung up in bag.

No changes without consulting instructor
No underwear/bra under costumes. Wearing these undergarments causes “underwear lines” visible from stage. UNDERTARDS AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE!!

RECITAL TICKET SALES
2017-06-04 08:00 - 12:00 | Pirouette Dance Academy, 1706 President Avenue, Fall River, MA, 02720, United States
Tickets

Recital Ticket sales are from 8:00AM-Noon. Do not come after noon we will not be here.
CASH/CREDIT CARD ONLY SALE (no checks will be accepted)
Once you arrive on ticket day you may stand in line to reserve your spot to get a number.
When we get there around 7:45 we will begin to hand out numbers that will determine what order you will come into the office to purchase tickets.
Once 8:00AM rolls around, numbers will be called in order and you will be able to come in and purchase tickets.
ONE NUMBER PER PERSON. IF YOU TRY TO COME IN THE OFFICE WITH ANOTHER MOTHER AND ONLY ONE NUMBER, YOU WILL NOT BE PERMITTED TO PURCHASE TICKETS. THIS IS A VERY ORGANIZED SYSTEM THAT PROMOTES FAIRNESS AMONGST EVERYONE. NO ONE IS SUBJECT TO NOT FOLLOWING THE RULES.
YOU MAY ALSO NOT TAKE MORE THAN ONE NUMBER. IF THIS OCCURS YOU WILL BE SENT TO THE BACK OF THE LINE. EVERYONE WANTS TO SEE THEIR CHILDREN PERFORM SO LET’S ALL WORK TOGETHER TO MAKE SURE IT GOES AS SMOOTH AS POSSIBLE. IF YOUR NUMBER IS CALLED AND YOU ARE NOT THERE YOU WAIT UNTIL WE CAN TAKE YOU IN.
Do not call to see what number we are on. It distracts the staff and slows the whole process down.
YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO BUY TICKETS UNLESS ALL ACCOUNTS ARE MADE CURRENT, THIS INCLUDES JUNE TUITION. There are 2 Recitals on Recital day that your child is expected to participate in
Tickets will be sold at a price of $14 ON TICKET DAY ONLY.

Any child 2 and under that will be sitting on a parents lap does not need to purchase a ticket. IF YOUR CHILD IS 3 AND OVER, THEY WILL NEED TO PURCHASE THEIR OWN SEAT AND WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO SIT ON YOUR LAP.
Tickets are sold as assigned seating.
There are NO LIMITATIONS as to how many tickets you can buy
Once everyone buys tickets, the next day, Monday, all remaining tickets will be released on a first come first serve basis at 4:00PM in the event people need more tickets for the Recitals.
If your child is not participating in Recital you are eligible for two half price tickets for you and your child to watch Recital. These may be purchased after ticket sales day
If you do not come on ticket day and do not send anyone YOU MAY NOT RECEIVE TICKETS AND WILL MISS THE CHANCE TO SEE YOUR CHILD PERFORM IN RECITAL.
DO NOT WAIT FOR MONDAY TO PURCHASE TICKETS BECAUSE THEY MAY SELL OUT ON TICKET DAY.
You may opt to not stand in line and come later, say at 11:30AM. This is fine but there may not be the seating you desire or the show time you desire. This is your decision to make.
TICKET SALES ARE OVER AT 12PM (OR WHEN THE LINE ENDS). DO NOT COME AFTER 12PM BECAUSE THERE WILL BE NO ONE HERE AND YOU WILL NOT GET TICKETS..
DANCERS WHO WISH TO WATCH THE RECITAL (SIT IN THE AUDIENCE) MUST PURCHASE A TICKET. They are not allowed to sit on your lap unless they are 2 years old or younger.

There is no need to purchase a ticket for your child or you if your child has a lot of dances. Please don’t forget you will get to see them at dress rehearsal and there is a live feed in the dressing area so you can watch the show live!
