Show 2023

DANCE SHOW 2025 - SATURDAY 28 JUNE 

REHEARSAL DATES FOR DIARY - SUNDAY 22 JUNE AND FRIDAY 27 JUNE

We will be having our show once again at Queen Mary's College.  The venue were so welcoming and accommodating.  They are hoping to have tiered seating but cannot guarantee at the moment.  We will make sure the seats will not be crammed in so the view should be good for everyone. Most importantly ticket prices will be cheaper so invite everyone!!

ALL DETAILS BELOW ARE FOR 2023 SHOW - timings are not confirmed for 2025 show:

Show Details:

Make-up:

• Light brown foundation
• Blusher
• Brown/reddish lipstick
• Eyeshadow – natural tones
• Mascara
• Eyeliner – black or brown

Children up to the age of 7 do not need to wear foundation or eye-liner, as this can become quite messy!

Boys need a little bit of blusher and mascara.

Costumes:

All items of costumes must be named including dance shoes and accessories. Please make sure all costumes fit correctly and are ironed before the first dress rehearsal 

Make sure everything is labelled showing name, phone number and dressing room number.

Sunday 22 June

Please arrive at 1.30pm for a 2.15pm start. 

* YOU SHOULD MAKE THE CHAPERONE AWARE IF A CHILD CARRIES AN EPIPEN INHALER OR ANYTHING ELSE AS EQUALLY IMPORTANT BY THE PARENT AT DROP OFF.

*Children should arrive in their first dance outfit, with make-up and hair done.  You will be met at the entrance to the main hall (by the steps) by a chaperone who will take your child and sign them in.

*Children may bring a drink and a snack with them on this day. 

*All children are in the Finale. At dress rehearsals we will start with the finale and then proceed with the running order. This enables the children to go home once their final item is completed. 

PHOTOGRAPHY

Photographs will be taken at this dress rehearsal, after each dance the dancers will be taken to have their photographs taken. There will be individual photos and some groups may be taken depending on time. If children are in more than one dance they don't have to have a picture taken in every outfit, but they may.

Please send each child to QMC with an attached label on them or their bag stating:

Pick up times from the Stage Door at the QMC are as follows:

These are approximate timings. It is a dress rehearsal for the children but also a technical run thru. Please be patient. 

SIGNING IN AT QMC

This is something we have to do before and after every show and rehearsal. We have many helpers doing their best to sign children in and then escort them to their dressing rooms. You will not be allowed access to the dressing rooms. Please be patient when picking up your child. It takes time to make sure every child finds their parent!

We cannot let children sign themselves out unless I have received a signed letter from a parent or legal guardian.  Please do this well ahead of the show.

At the rehearsals and both shows, the children will sign in at stage door and be collected at stage door.

One dressing room will exit at a time. Parents are asked not to enter the stage door foyer; your children will exit with a chaperone.
