    TIPS FOR โ€œYOUNG DANCERSโ€ IN MULTIPLE ROUTINES

    If your dancer is in multiple routines in the recital, please get familiar with the dance order of the show and the name of their dances.

    If you are not sure of the name, email me or ask their instructor. Itโ€™s a good idea to practice their costume changes at home. Some of the costume changes will be speedy, so the more practice they get the better (each dance is about 3 minutes so if there are 3 dances between their dance, that would give them approx. 9 minutes to change into the next costume) The end goal is to train them to change themselves without assistance from their parent (then you can sit in the audience!) Most will need assistance back stage this year since they are still learning the ropes.

    The hair style will remain the same throughout the show: Low slick pony tail with no wispies and parted in the middle. Bangs are ok.

    Keep costumes and dance shoes all together and write a costume check list for each dance.
