FIVE FLAGS ARRIVAL INFORMATION
Welcome to Performance Time!!! We are all so excited!
- All items must be labeled with the dancer’s first and last name!
- Everyone must arrive in costume, makeup, and hair ready.
- Be prepared to drop your performer off and take your seat in the audience.
- Non-performers will not go to the performer area.
- Please drop your child off excited and ready to go.
- (First-time parents: you have more control over this than you think! Please say things like, “It’s a Dance Party, you are going to have a great time!” “You are going to have so much fun!” Saying negative things like, “Don’t worry, Mommy will be in the audience”–would freak any child out!)
- NO JEWELRY-NO NAILPOLISH
- Performer Cell phone etiquette: TURN THEM OFF. Performers are not allowed to have the phones out or be on them.
- All studio related photos that have children other than your own, must be posted through our studio office due to the privacy of the children. We will then post on our page, from there you can share to your media pages.
- THERE IS NO FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY AS IT ENDANGERS THE PERFORMERS
- You are welcome to, and we encourage you to video and take photos OF YOUR CHILD. However, please do so from YOUR seat with your camera down. Do not disrupt anyone or block their view. Please keep screens from phones down and lights to a minimal.
- Performer arrival at Five Flags Theater:
- Please enter through the ARENA DOORS BY HOLIDAY INN. All Dancers will have a designated table in the arena hallway.
- DROP OFF FOR ALL STUDENTS—there will be a table where a number will be written on your dancer’s hand-as well as yours. This number needs to be shown to workers when you pick up your performer (in the same area where you drop your child off).
- Out of safety for your child, no one is released until the show is finished.
- For the safety of your child–only one person is allowed in to pick up your child. Again, make sure you have the pick-up number on your hand.
- Preschool and k/1st(45 min) classes: young performers should arrive30 minutes before the recital.
- Please take your performer to the restroom before you give them to our staff. 30 and 45 min class performers: please double check that you have your dancers white tap shoes on first, and tied in a knot please. Their tap numbers are first.
- 60 and 90 min classes/dancers with tan shoes and team dancers should arrive 45 min. before the show.
- Audience Members, please be in your seat 15-20 minutes before the show starts. Many times, we are waiting for people to take their seats to start the show. Please remember-this is not “day wear” make up, and your performer will be under stage lights. There is a “how to” video on our recital page to assist. Please apply earth tone color blush, eyeliner and mascara, eye shadow and red lipstick. You will want to apply enough or apply dark enough to see the color. Normal make up is more blended then this will be. Hair must be in a bun.
