leading you to this door. Please use the large (and very obvious) ramp to get to the
backstage door.
Once inside the building there will be plenty of signs and friendly volunteers to help
guide you to the BAY AREA. When you find your dancer’s Parent Volunteer, please sign

theatre with a Room Parent.
Please sign your dancer in to his/her Room Parent. Keep in mind, whoever signs
your dancer in to the room parent will need to be the same parent who signs them
out.
To find the Mezzanine, you will enter the theatre using the front door of The
Carpenter Theatre. Once inside the building, you will follow the signs and use the
help of our friendly volunteers to guide you to this section of the theatre. Once
your dancer is signed in and sitting with his/her class, we ask that you find a seat in
the Orchestra section of the theatre to watch rehearsal.
Dress Rehearsal PICK UP Instructions for:
ALL YOUTH CLASSES
Once your dancer has completed his/her FINAL routine of the rehearsal on stage,
the director will then dismiss your dancer’s class. Dancers will be released down
the steps on the front of the stage where they will walk with their Parent Volunteer
to the lobby of the theatre. Once in the lobby, parents may sign their dancer out and
pick their dancer up. Please wait until you are in the lobby and out of the theatre so
you are not disturbing the ongoing rehearsal. If your dancer is in multiple classes,
we will have a volunteer that escorts them to their next class. PLEASE
REMEMBER, THIS IS NOT HOW YOU WILL PICK YOUR DANCER UP ON
THE DAY OF THE SHOW. Please see Show day Pick up Instructions for that
difference. Page 10Dress Rehearsal Instructions for:
The following classes will all be assigned a designated Dressing Room:

DRESS REHEARSAL DROP OFF INSTRUCTIONS:

dancer’s dressing room.
* A separate dressing room for male dancers will be available.
To get “Backstage” to drop your dancer off in his/her dressing
room:
If you are looking at the front of the Carpenter Theatre building from Grace Street,
the door will be on the right side towards the back of the building. There will be a
sign leading you to this door. Please use the large (and very obvious) ramp to get to
the backstage door.
Once your dancer has been dropped off and signed in to their Room Parent,
we ask that you please find a seat in the theatre to watch the rehearsal and
wait for your dancer to finish.
Page 11DRESS REHEARSAL PICK UP INSTRUCTIONS:
Please meet your dancer in his/her dressing room at the end of the rehearsal. You
will need to sign your dancer out with his/her room parent so we can account for
each dancer. Whoever signs your dancer in at the start of rehearsal will need to be
the parent who signs your dancer out. If you have any special arrangements or
circumstances for the Pick Up/Drop Off of your child, you need to contact J’adore
DANCE prior to the rehearsal by email.

***IMPORTANT SAFTEY NOTE REGARDING
STUDENT PICK UP, PLEASE READ***
* Once the performance begins, the only people who will be permitted
BACKSTAGE, in the DRESSING ROOMS OR in the MEZZANINE AREA
are Centre Stage Employees, and J’adore DANCE faculty / Parent Volunteers.
* These cleared individuals will have Backstage lanyards to identify them.
* Please, respect and abide by this policy. We put this policy in to place not to
inconvenience anyone but to ensure your dancers are safe and accounted for. The
Centre Stage staff and our hired security will not permit anyone through to the
children without a lanyard.
J’adore DANCE wants ALL parents sitting in the theatre to enjoy the show
knowing that their dancer is safe in our hands. Please remember, once you turn
over your precious dancer to us, they are our responsibility. We take that
responsibility very seriously. No one would want our security team letting just
“anyone” backstage while the show is in progress. So again, your support for our
policies is greatly appreciated.

Page 20Costumes
Costume Fittings:
During the month of May, we will begin emailing each class individually to
inform you of your costume fitting day. The fitting will happen during the last
20 minutes of class on the scheduled “fitting day”. Costumes will go home
with all dancers this day.
Sizing/Alterations:
Costumes are NOT custom ordered to fit each dancer specifically. The office
staff has taken each of the dancers measurements in class during the
beginning of March.
If you feel your dancer’s costume needs any alterations, you are responsible
for handling any alterations. Please do not alter the costume in anyway that
changes the overall look or fit of the costume. We will need all of the dancers
to appear uniformed on the day of the show.
Tights / Shoes: Information about tights and shoes will be handed out
during costume distribution.
Costumes are NON-REFUNDABLE and cannot be exchanged
**Costumes will not be sent out to anyone with an outstanding
balance, unless previously scheduled for auto-pay with J’adore**
Page 21* Please do not allow your dancer to play or dance in his/her costume
until after the Spring Gala
* Hang costumes in a steamy bathroom or use a steamer to get any
wrinkles out of costume material.
* Do not try and wash or iron your costume.
* Please label your costume and any costume pieces with your dancer’s
name
* Store your costume in a garment bag; hanging up
Undergarments
* If your dancer’s costume requires tights, please have them wear their tights
WITHOUT underwear. Tights are designed to be worn, solo against skin.
* If your dancer’s costume does not require tights, please make sure they
wear underwear that is neutral in color and is hidden from appearing
outside of their costume lines. Some costumes will not require underwear
at all.
* For dancers who need an under garment up top, please accompany your
costume with a nude/flesh tone seamless or dance-wear bra. These can be
found on websites such as discountdance.com, dancewearsolutions.com,
Pointe Dance Boutique, Target, Justice, and or Kohls.
Page 22Make up / Hair / Jewelry
HAIR: ALL Hair will be in a bun for the entire show with the
exception of Hip Hop classes.
** Hip Hop Classes: LOW Ponytail**
We are asking that your hair be in a high; slick “no fly-always” bun or pony according to
the above specifics. Be sure to use lots of hair spray, and as many hair-pins/bobbi pins as
you need. For some of you, hair needs to last through two shows, so the more secure the
better!
MAKE-UP: Make-up needs to be “stage ready”
Youth Program dancers: Please have your dancers wear a little foundation/
powder, blush, mascara, and some light neutral eye shadow. Please stay in the
natural color pallet of Earth tones (no 80’s red, blues, or purples).
ATP / Mini / Tween/ Teen / Company dancers: Your make-up should “pop”, so
please be sure to use foundations, blush, eye shadow, liner, mascara, and a lip
color. This make-up should be more than you wear on a daily basis. Stick with an
earth tone pallet that incorporates darker eye shadow colors, and uses a light
cream or white as a highlighter for eyebrows, etc. Bronzer and plum shades
should highlight cheeks. Matte finish berry lipstick for lips!
JEWELRY: ALL dancers should wear rhinestone stud earrings for
the show if their ears are pierced (this is not required for youth classes).
Do not add additional jewelry or hair accessories to your dancer that
are not a part of the costume.
Page 23Dressing Room
Dressing Rooms are provided as a courtesy to our performers. Dancers
are “guests” at the Carpenter Theatre and should treat the space they are
using with respect. Please talk to your dancer about the rules for using
the dressing room:
Rules for the Dressing Room:
* No food or beverages in the dressing areas. A kitchen area is available to store
and enjoy drinks and snacks
* No running, horseplay or rough housing
* Dancers will not be allowed to enter and exit the dressing rooms unless they are
going backstage
* All trash and belongs need to be cleaned up in order to leave the area BETTER
than we found it
Page 24Quick Changes
A mock dressing area will be provided backstage on both the RIGHT and LEFT
side of the stage for dancers who have quick changes. “Quick Changes” are
costume changes that happen less than 10 numbers a part. Dancers will need to
bring their costume to change in to, to the “Quick Change Area” backstage before
the show begins.
(Quick Change Notes Continued)
Dancers are responsible for picking up all of the costumes and costume pieces
before leaving the backstage area.
We will need volunteers who are responsible for both Stage R and Stage L Quick
Change Areas. If your dancer has a quick change and you are concerned about him/
her being able to change in time; we suggest volunteering for this position. For
more information about Volunteering for the “Quick Change” position or any other
volunteer slot , please email info@jadoredancestudio.com.
Page 25Audience Etiquette
ABSOLUTELY NO PICTURES OR VIDEO
will be permitted by audience members!
The Ushers at the Carpenter Theatre take this very seriously as does the faculty of
J’adore DANCE. Our ushers will be looking for recording devices and instruct you
to stop recording during the show in the event devices are being used. Professional
Photo and Videos will be taken on the day of the show and are available for
purchase. Order forms for Video and Action Photos are attached to this packet.
These young dancers have worked extremely hard all year and
deserve your respect and undivided attention. Please make sure you
are familiar with the following:
-No talking. If something must be said, whisper it quietly as this can be
distracting to other audience members.
-Noises off. Turn off cell phones, beepers, audible watches, and any
other sound- making gadgets before the performance.
-Lights out. Don’t forget, the screen on your mobile device can be a
distraction too.
-If you must exit the theatre during the performance, you must wait until
the number on the stage is finished. Try exiting between Chapters if you
can. The theatre doors will only open briefly between chapters and at
Intermission. If you do leave, you will only be permitted back in at the
end of a Chapter.
-Applause!!! Please applause and cheer with enthusiasm for all
dancers on the stage. Every one of the young ladies and gentleman
performing deserves praise and celebration for their hard work.
Page 26Volunteers Needed
Our Spring Gala is such a success because of the help and support of our
class and backstage volunteers. J’adore DANCE relies on the help of our
volunteers for a number of things.

- Runners
- Quick Change Helpers
