Hello Everyone! We cant believe its show week!!
Its always such an exciting time for our students as they get to perform and show their family and friends all of their hard work! We are so blessed to share the Gospel message with so many and we pray this is a wonderful addition to your holiday season!

A FEW THINGS- 
Please do not bring extra things to Tech, Dress Rehearsal. This includes stuffies, blankets, food, toys, etc. Only the things required for your rehearsal/performance are allowed in the dressing rooms (at the studio and the school). Thank you!

It was a huge problem we noticed and needs to be streamlined. It interrupted quick changes and organization of costumes and accessories (hair, makeup, tights, shoes).

VOLUNTEER ASSIGNMENTS-
​Please be sure to check the "CS Volunteer Assignments" tab located under the main "Christmas Show" tab to check your assignments for the weekend. All Dress Rehearsal Volunteers can arrive with their dancer and leave when they leave.

We also are in need of more prop helpers and ushers! If your husband or older sibling can work as an usher on Saturday or Sunday please let Ms. Lei know. You will still get to watch the show:)
This doesn't replace working backstage or pre or post job its just out of the goodness of your hearts! :)

A WORD ABOUT MODESTY-
​The nude leotard is meant to be treated like your skin so we do not want to see anyone wearing only their nude leotard outside of the dressing room. We do this to be modest and it is important each dancer follows these rules:) So please be sure to have on a leotard and your Christmas Show T Shirt on to cover up your nude leotard.

BACKSTAGE-
​-Each dancer will check in before each show and check out after each show. Once you check them in at the table they will walk back-No parents are allowed back stage

​-Ages 12 and up will be dismissed on their own. Ages 11 and under will only be released to parents, and parents must come to the check in/out door.

-Please no siblings in dressing rooms.

-No moms are allowed back stage and if you are not a volunteer for that rehearsal or show you can not be in the dressing room.

-Please bring a few things for your dancer to do back stage, please nothing messy. And please only bring a few things per dancer:)

-Only water is allowed back stage.

-Light snacks are allowed but please NO PEANUTS.

Things to remember-
Be sure your bun is a classical bun (center of bun should be in line with the top of the ears and centered on the back of the head), no bangs, and hair is styled straight back into the bun (no parts:)
People who wear half up/down and a classical bun during the show must position the pony tail for the half up/down style at the center of where a classical bun will be so that your half up/down pony will always be done and a bun will be done over it for easy and quick transition for changing hair styles. Half up/half down means half of the amount of hair on your head!
Be sure to check and make sure you know what your hairstyle should be for all your parts.
Be sure your hair is neat, NO WISPIES PLEASE. Hair spray and gel are what can be used to get your hair to stay back neatly with no wispies. For small pieces of fly away hair that do not stay down, use Bobby pins that match your hair color to keep them against your head. For buns, you should use a hair net for a neat finished look.
For curling hair, if your hair does not hold curl for hours and hours, we encourage you to have your dancer sleep in curlers, this technique makes curls last a very long time and is the best option for long lasting curls.
