Pictures this year are tentatively scheduled for July 8-9. We are doing a collage this year for each dancer, like the sample here. Informal snapshot pictures will also be taken at dress rehearsal and recital to use on the collages.

RECITAL HANDBOOK

INTRODUCTION
This handbook is your key to a smooth recital experience. It should be able to answer your questions, and inform you of what is required from all students and families.
The recital will be a rewarding experience for all of our students. If this is your student’s first year at the Electric Youth Dance Company, we encourage the entire family to approach this milestone with support and enthusiasm. The benefits of performing in front of a live audience and participating in the artistic process of choreography, rehearsals, and teamwork are innumerous. Most important, each student is given the opportunity to be someone special – someone who has worked with diligence, determination, and heart to achieve her/his goals.
Performing on stage builds confidence and character; it gives one a sense of accomplishments and pride. These are qualities we want to see our children attain. The recital experience will help a child in other aspects of their personal lives at school, church, sports activities, and much more.

RECITAL FEE
Your $30.00 (per family) recital fee includes entrance fees for you, your family, and friends. This must be paid by June 17th. All dancers who have not paid by June 19th will be unable to participate in the dance recital. This fee goes towards the rental of the auditorium for our dress rehearsal and recital.



DRESS REHEARSAL (THURS, JUNE 19th)
The Dress Rehearsal is held at Roy High School. All classes will have stage time in which they will practice their routine with full costume, performance lights and music. Each class has only 10 minutes on the stage so please do not be late! I need all dancers at Roy High School Auditorium in Thurs. June 19th at 5:00 SHARP!!! (All ready) Everyone will need to come in a find where there class is sitting, and stay with there class! My little classes (Under The Sea, I’m Cute and Beyond The Sea.) will come directly up on the stage to stage left and line up to do there dances. We only have time to do each dance once on the stage so do not be late! After that we will do the Finale with everyone and then my 3 little classes are excused to go home. After your class is done doing there dance on the stage and we have gone through the Finale, I will excuse you to go. DO NOT BE LATE! Or you will miss your time on the stage. Parents are welcome to stay however please do not let other children run around and please keep quiet, sometimes the parents are louder than the girls.

VIDEOS
I have hired a professional video-ographer to video our recital. This is a professional quality keepsake that your family will enjoy for years. We will use two professional video cameras to film at dress rehearsal and at the recital. The cost of the DVD is $25.00. You will be able to order this at the Dress Rehearsal and Recital.


RECITAL MON. JUNE 23rd The performance will start promptly at 7:00 p.m. All students must arrive and meet in the back hallway at 6:30 p.m. sharp!!
Students should use the restroom before their parents drop them off. After the Finale, I will have all of the little one stay on the stage and parents can pick them up.
The doors will not open until 6:30 p.m. We then ask that you do NOT reserve more than five seats per dancer. All reserved seats should be let go five minutes before the recital.
