JUNE 2022 RECITAL & COSTUME INFO

COSTUMES: Costumes are arriving and we're sorting them to be sure they're ready to distribute at the end of May. There will be designated days/times when you're able to pick your dancers costumes up, and those will be communicated soon. If your class is wearing tights, we've ordered those for you and will be included when you pick them up. You are responsible for trying on your costume and any alterations that may need to happen.

RECITAL TICKETS: These will go on sale online the morning of June 1st. They will be $18 each ahead of time, and if there are tickets available at the door, they will be $20 each. You'll be permitted to purchase up to 4-5 tickets per show, per performing dancer. More info to come!

It's REALLY important your dancer be in class every week from now through the recital to make sure they're prepared!

You can find your dancer's costume photos and shoe, hair and make-up requirements in the documents listed below!

Our Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) document is linked below. It has everything you will ever want to know about our recitals!

WE WILL NEED MANY BACKSTAGE VOLUNTEERS!! This is a great way to give back to our community and get to watch your dancer free, from backstage. You can volunteer for a show your dancer is in and be with them backstage, or in one they aren't, so you can sit in the audience. There's a bunch of different roles - keep an eye out for an email in the next few weeks with more info!

There will be FOUR different recitals! See the 'RDC 2022 Class Recital Assignments' link below to see which recital(s) your dancer is in.
Show 1 - Friday, June 24th from 6-8pm
Show 2 - Saturday, June 25th from 1-3pm
Show 3 - Saturday, June 25th from 6-8pm
Show 4 - Sunday, June 26th from 4-6pm

RECITAL LOCATION: The performance will be outdoors at Explorer West Middle School - 10015 28th Ave. SW. Seattle, 98146

PICTURE DAYS - June 11 & 12: See the 'RDC 2022 Picture Day Schedule Combined' link below to find your classes specific picture time slot. We hire a professional photographer to come in and take photos of your dancers in their costumes. Your dancer's class is assigned a picture time slot on June 11th or 12th. All dancers will take individual photos and a class photo without masks. You're under no obligation to purchase them until you view them. You'll be able to order online a few weeks after picture days. Dancers should arrive already in their costumes/tights/shoes, with their hair and make-up (optional) done. We will NOT wait for anyone so if you're late or miss your time slot, you will miss your pictures. Picture Days are not mandatory, but it's a great way to document your dancers year!

AGES 3-6/7 ONLY IN-STUDIO DRESS REHEARSALS - Monday, June 20 and Tuesday, June 21: See the 'RDC 2022 In-Studio Dress Rehearsal Schedule 3-6 yrs' link below to find your classes specific dress rehearsal time slot. These are for Pre-Ballet, Ballet/Tap and Hip Hop/Acro classes ONLY. These in-studio rehearsals are designed to help our young dancers bridge the gap between regular class and being on stage. Each dancer must have one adult with them during their entire time slot. Dancers should show up to these rehearsals in their costumes/tights/shoes. These rehearsals are MANDATORY in order to perform in the recital.

AGES 7+/LEVEL 1-5 ONLY DRESS REHEARSALS - Wednesday, June 22 and Thursday, June 23: See the 'RDC 2022 Dress Rehearsal Class Assignments Ages 7+, Level 1-5' link below to confirm which dress rehearsal your dancer is in.

Dancers should show up to these rehearsals in their costumes/tights/shoes. All dancers should have an adult with them during their dress rehearsal time, as there will not be supervision for dancers.
