The scheduled performance time for each class is above! Find your dancers regular class day/time/name and scroll right to confirm their classes performance time! PLEASE TAKE NOTE OF YOUR DANCER’S PERFORMANCE/CLASS TIME – IT’S SHORTENED, AND EACH DANCER UNDER THE AGE OF 12 MUST HAVE AN ADULT PRESENT WITH THEM THE WHOLE TIME! Here’s some more info!

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE PERFORMANCE WEEK:

• All dancers will ‘perform’ during their regular class day and time next week, but each class will be a shortened (20-30 minutes) to ensure that we have less time indoors for safety and so we have time between each performance to reset the space and get ready for the next classes performance. 
• Each dancer will be permitted to have ONE, fully vaccinated adult audience member come in to RDC to watch for each class they’re enrolled in.  We know having only one person come to watch your dancer is not ideal, but from a safety perspective, based on the size of our space, this is the best we can do right now. We appreciate your patience and understanding!
• Vaccine proof for all audience members 12 and over must be shown to enter the building. Masks will also be required for anyone to enter RDC. If you have not yet been vaccinated, please reach out to us via email and we can talk about next steps.
  • The blinds and curtains on the big windows in both studios will be open for any additional guests who’d like to stand outside and watch!
• ALL DANCERS 11 AND UNDER MUST HAVE AN ADULT WITH THEM DURING THEIR ENTIRE PERFORMANCE TIME NEXT WEEK. 
  • NO dancer under the age of 12 can be left unattended during their class time. Please plan to stay with your dancer until they are done with their performance.
  • NO dancer can be left at the studio for their full class time next week. We need time between performances to reset the room and there will NOT be supervision for your dancer outside of their scheduled performance time.
• If your dancer is enrolled in a hybrid class (Tuesday Contemporary 2 and Friday Acro 1), your class has been split into two smaller groups and two different timeslots for your performance. Your dancers name is listed in the timeslot/group they are performing in on the schedule, highlighted in yellow.
• Most performance start times match the start times for your regular class, with the exception of the ones highlighted in yellow. Please take note of those highlighted!
• Notes about multiple classes/dancers
  • If your dancer has back to back classes on the same day, there will be a break between your class performances and your dancer and their guest must exit the studio and come back in for the next performance.
  • If you have multiple young dancers in your family who are in back to back classes on the same day and only one adult who can supervise/watch them both, you will be permitted to bring one sibling to watch the other, as long as you respond to us via email and we give you prior approval. This will NOT be allowed for anyone who doesn’t have multiple dancers in multiple classes on the same day.
  • If you have multiple dancers who are in different classes at the same day/time, we’ve adjusted their performance times to accommodate you being able to watch both!
  • The audience member can change for each class your dancer is enrolled in if you’d like. This does not have to be the same person for each class.
• Audience members will be able to take photos and videos, so you can share later with family and friends.
• Attire - Your dancer can wear anything they’d like. We’re encouraging special/winter/holiday/festive themed clothing to make this more special, but anything goes. Audience members are welcome to dress up as well!
• The studios will be decorated with winter decorations, we’ll have a winter backdrop for photos, holiday music playing and each dancer will get a special treat after their performance.
• Dancers ages 3-6: We will have a VERY special guest that will visit our youngest dancers during their performance timeslot and be available for photos. Olaf, from Frozen, will be in the RDC house! 

DAY OF YOUR PERFORMANCE:

• Before you arrive:
  • Check your email the morning you have class for the COVID waiver reminder. You will still need to fill out a COVID-19 waiver for your dancer before you arrive next week, like normal.
  • Make sure an adult is scheduled to be with your dancer at all times if they are 11 or under. If they are over 12, they don’t need any audience member to watch them, but they will need to be picked up right when their performance timeslot is done. Be sure to check the attached schedule and confirm your dancers performance start and end time. They are only 15-25 minutes, so we encourage everyone to stay and watch! 
  • Make sure all audience members have proof of vaccination with them, or they won’t be permitted into RDC!
• When you arrive/during the performance
  • Your dancer and their audience member must wear a mask at all times.
  • Adults/audience members must show vaccine proof to enter the building. 
  • There will be an opportunity for you and/or your dancer to take photos in front of our winter backdrop in the lobby.
  • Your dancer and their audience member will enter the studio together and be assigned a color X in the dance room. Dancers and audience members will need to stay in their designated area during the performance time so we can maintain social distance between other families.
  • When your dancer’s performance time is done, dancers and their guest will exit out the dance room door.

If you already know that your dancer will not be in their performance class next week (12/13-12/18), please let us know immediately. The sooner we know your dancer won’t be there on performance day, the better we can plan ahead. Thanks!
