Performance Location
Whetstone Recreation Center Auditorium- High Street-Columbus
COSTUMES
During class costumes will be handed out. Your child will receive a large Ziplock bag, inside will be (a slip of paper with their name, song name and class time, and their costume) if you pre ordered tights or leotards those will also be in the bag.
Dancers are to put their costume on and they will dance in their costume during class, this is so they can see themselves. After class put everything back in the ziplock bag and take the costumes home. Bring them back Saturday Dec 16 for the performance. Be very careful handling the skirts and tutus or you will end up having to restring them.
After the performance all costumes and any borrowed leotards or tights are to be returned. Tie all skirts and tutus before putting them back in the ziplock. There will be lawn & leaf bags marked “Returns”, press all the air out of the ziplock and toss it in the leaf bag. Make sure your child’s name is in the bag.
I will be sending out an e-mail with the order of each show. I am still trying to work out the order to accommodate dancers with costume changes.
HAIR
The day of their performance, I don’t have any required hairstyle other than their hair be neat and pulled back out of the face. Please try to avoid beads, as these can break or fall out and be a hazard for the dancers. If your child has beads, please wear a hair net or secure them in another way.
WHETSTONE DANCERS
We cannot get in the Auditorium until 1 pm. at that time we will be setting up rows of chairs for our audience. The center has about 100-150 chairs. I asked for the director to get 250-350 more from the warehouse. If you want to help set up please come at 1 pm.
Dancers should arrive between 1:30 and 1:50 pm. Dancers, in costume, will be lined up along the North wall in the order of their performance.
We will start promptly at 2 pm. The actual show will only be about half hour to 45 min. We can not wait for on dancers to arrive.
When the show begins, dancers will be escorted to the stage thru the right stage door, perform their routine and then exit the stage thru the left stage door. If your child has a costume change you will need to quickly change them and get them back in line with their next class.
3 pm we will have to get ready for the Far East dancers arriving for their performance. Please pick up any trash and throw it away. Whetstone dancers will be dismissed by 3 pm.
All costumes and any borrowed leotards or tights are to be returned. Tie all skirts and tutus before putting them back in the ziplock. There will be lawn & leaf bags marked “Returns”, press all the air out of the ziplock and toss it in the leaf bag. Make sure your child’s name is in the bag.
