Bethlehem

DATE & TIME

Our End of Year Concert will be held on 6 DECEMBER at 10.30AM.

Please drop off by 10am at the latest.

See the Concert Day Procedures below for arrival times.

All students participate in our End of Year Concert and students work on these routines each week in class, developing their skills in the process and learning the importance of rehearsal, commitment, performance techniques and teamwork.

In terms of attendance, it is very important that students do not miss any of their scheduled classes between now and concert time so they can spend their rehearsal time together to perform their routines, feel confident and look amazing. Of course, this is only if it can’t be helped and in line with studio guidelines. If for any reason your child will miss a number of their regular classes in Term 4, we ask that you contact reception to let us know in advance.

If there is any reason why your child will not be able to perform at the concert on the dates and times provided, please let us know so we can make amendments to the class routines involving them.

A performance fee of $40.00 per family will be payable. Students who have not paid their performance fee will be unable to perform in the concert. This is not required for students who attend our daycare classes.

All students receive a concert commemorative t-shirt included as part of their performers fee. (PLEASE NOTE THIS IS NOT FOR DAYCARE STUDENTS)

DROP OFF & PICK UP

On concert day, all of the students will be staying backstage with us for the duration of the concert. Students need to have their hair and makeup done before being dropped off. Students are required to arrive 30mins before their show time - by 10am at the latest.

During the dropping off times, we ask that one parent/guardian comes with their child into the drop off area (you will be directed once inside the venue).. See the CONCERT GROUPS & ORDER button below.

All students will need to be picked up from the drop off point after the show. Students will stay in this location and need to have their name marked off by their group leader.

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask us. We will ensure that we talk you through the concert day procedure again in the weeks leading up to the concert.

SECURITY & STUDENT SAFETY

To help with student organisation and safety, all students will be put into an allocated 'group’. Please see the "show specific info" on this site and make sure your child knows what group they are in.

As always, the safety of our dance family is our #1 priority. On concert day ONE parent will be allowed to bring their students back stage and to their group. You can then leave them with their "Group leader" and they will care for you child or if you would like to stay you are welcome to, however you will not be able to watch the show.

MEDICAL CONDITIONS

If your child has any Medical Conditions that may require attention whilst in our care or are carrying any medication with them, please notify our supervisors when you sign in.

COSTUME HIRE POLICY

Costumes are HIRED from the studio and various other hire companies and MUST be returned.

All hired costumes will be taken to the venue on the concert day. No students are to take home any part of their costume at any time. Please make sure your child understands that it is important that their costume goes back in the bag labelled with their name. A fee will be charged for any costumes that are missing or damaged (most damage happens from food stains).

Please be aware that under stage lights, dark coloured or patterned underwear does not look good under light coloured costumes. Please make sure your child is wearing flesh coloured underwear.

Please note, for boys neat and tidy hair is all that is required. No colours or crazy hairstyles please.

MAKEUP

Stage makeup needs to be heavier than normal day makeup. Please try not to cake it on or make it look like a mask as this does not look natural on stage.

Apply make-up base. Foundation needs to be darker than what their normal shade would be. Apply pinkish brown tone blush to cheekbones.

Apply brown eye shadow on lid – work from the inside corner along the lash line. You may also like to use white under the brow to highlight.

Define the eyes with black eyeliner pencil. Use along the top and bottom lash lines.

Add lots of black mascara to both top and bottom lashes.

Apply red lipstick.

Boys are to have Brown lipstick.

We know with preschoolers putting on makeup is not easy. So just do what you can do and that will be great.

WHAT TO BRING

FOOD & DRINK

Please if you are bringing food be mindful of what mess it can cause on costumes & around students.

PACKING CHECKLIST

It is suggested that students bring all of their belongings in a small plastic box. It is much easier than rummaging through a bag. Please write their names all over the box and on everything that they bring.

Please use the following checklist:

Water, water and more water

Students may want to bring a small quiet game, book or something to keep them amused.
