BOPPERS PARENT INFO
If your child is a Bopper in this show, this info is just for you :) The key differences for the Boppers are unlike the other age groups, you are able to stay with your dancer during their entire recital experience as needed. You will accompany them backstage. After their time on stage, you are welcome to take them back into the audience to watch the rest of the show! We will give you a "seat saver" so that your family can reserve your spot without being hassled!
HAIR & MAKEUP
We want the recital to be a stress free day and we know how much stress hair and makeup can often add to this! Please do not feel that you have to apply heavy makeup to your dancer - it should be natural and maintain their natural beauty being a child. Watch the video below for some great tips and guidelines...

CARING FOR YOUR COSTUME
It is important to know how to care for your costume leading up to the show! Here are a few tips!
1. Do NOT take the tights out of the packaging until the weekend of the show! You don't want to wear them to class or risk tearing them before the recital.
2. If your costume has a tutu, fluff the tutu the week before the show! Pull apart layers of tulle or mesh for full fluffiness effect!
3. Tulle and mesh will likely be wrinkled from being in their storage bag. DO NOT IRON THEM AS THEY WILL MELT!!! Instead, hang it in the bathroom with the door closed while you shower and then smooth out the fabric by tugging on it slightly. You can also LIGHTLY steam if you wish!
4. Keep the costume, tights, and hair piece in the garment bag provided to you so that nothing is lost when you need it!
BACKSTAGE ACTIVITIES
Once checking your child in on the day of the recital, they'll experience a ton of fun activities backstage! We have activity stations in the cafeteria as well as on their path to the big stage! The entire time they'll be supervised by our event team who will work to ensure that dancers are both staying safe and having fun! Some of the stations they'll experience are: Bean bag toss game, simon says, coloring, story time, riding our magical Unicorn named "Uni!", and practicing their bows and so much more! Our shows move fast so the time will fly by for all of our dancers.
CHECK IN & OUT SAFETY PROTOCOL
When every parent knows what the protocols are, it helps all of our dancers stay safe! With so many little ones under the age of 10, it's a big responsibility to keep track of everyone and ensure everyone is going home with the right party: it's one we take very seriously.
ONE adult will enter the auditorium before the show to take their dancer to the backstage area. After the show, we ask that one parent comes to the backstage area so that we can make sure each dancer returns safely to their family. We have a lot of shows the day of the recital, so once you have your dancer, you can walk out the front entrance to the right of the stage in the auditorium to go take pictures with family and friends at our backdrop so that we can get the next group ready!
