Important Recital Information


MANDATORY

The recital will be held at the McBain High School Auditorium again this year. Recital dates are Friday, June 6th and Saturday, June 7th, 2025. Doors will open at 6:00pm and the recital will start at 6:30pm. We will be having Tech Rehearsal Wednesday, June 4th at 5pm and Dress Rehearsal Thursday, June 5th at 5pm. These rehearsals are held in McBain and they are MANDATORY!

Tech Rehearsal Information

Tech Rehearsal is Wednesday, June 4th at McBain High School Auditorium. ALL DANCERS need to be on stage at 5pm and ready to stretch. No makeup or special hair is needed for this rehearsal. We just ask that dancers wear appropriate clothing and have their hair up. This rehearsal will run like a normal class, but on stage. The finale number is practiced first. Once your dancer has performed all of their dances on stage and Miss Avery dismisses them, they are free to go home. 

Dress Rehearsal Information

Dress Rehearsal is Thursday, June 5th at McBain High School Auditorium. ALL DANCERS need to be on stage at 5pm and ready to stretch. Hair and makeup should be done. Hair needs to be ALL UP if possible. Once the dancers are done stretching, they will go back stage and immediately get into their first costume. Our goal for this rehearsal is to run through the entire show exactly as if it were the actual recital night. Once Miss Avery dismisses the dancers, they are free to go home. 

Recital Night Information

The recital will be held on Friday, June 6th and Saturday, June 7th. The recital will start at 6:30pm with doors opening at 6:00pm. Dancers need to be there on stage and ready to stretch at 5:30pm. We ask that dancers be backstage, hair and makeup done, and in their first costume by 6:00pm. Dancers need to remain backstage throughout the entire recital unless on stage performing.

**IMPORTANT INFORMATION**

Children backstage NEED to be supervised. We will have helpers backstage to gather dancers and take them to the stage for each dance. It is YOUR responsibility (or whomever is supervising your child) to make sure they are dressed in the correct costume and ready to go when it's their time. NO MALES are allowed backstage, sorry Dads. Please try to limit the people backstage to only the dancers and whomever is helping them. Snacks are welcome as long as costumes STAY CLEAN. Please pick up your messes and throw any trash away. Blankets and chairs are recommended. Help us leave a good impression of Steppin' Up Dance Studio while using the McBain High School facilities. 

If you have any questions please feel free to contact us. Thank you to everyone helping backstage making sure everything runs smoothly behind the scenes. We appreciate all of you!
