  • Drop off your dancer fully dressed in costume & ready to perform 45-30 minutes before their show start time under the terrace with vines in Parking Lot C.

    You will receive a pick up sticker with your dancer’s name and class. Keep this sticker with you, you’ll need it to pick up your dancer after they perform.

    ONLY Dancers will be allowed backstage. Parents/families will need to go directly to the auditorium after drop off.

  • Pick up your dancer immediately after they perform by following the pick up location signs & directions in the auditorium. Your dancer will have their Recital trophy with them at pick up!**

    PICK UP protocol for dancers level II/III and YOUNGER: Present the pick up sticker you received when dropping off your dancer to the Dance Moves staff in the dancer pick up area.

    Please re-enter the auditorium to enjoy the rest of the show. Each show runs approx. 1 hour + 20 minutes.

    **Multi-class performers will receive a special trophy after their FINAL dance of the Recital day.

  • Arrive wearing your FIRST costume

    Bring ONE bag with any additional costumes/tights/shoes/etc. Label EVERYTHING with your dancer’s name!

    Our staff will assist dancers with costume changes backstage.

    Pick up your dancer after their FINAL piece in EACH show.

Tumbleston Photography will email each family with optional photo & video packages for purchase.

    All recital photo and video questions can be directed to Tumbleston Photography: 843-766-9400

  • Costumes will be distributed in MAY. Costumes were paid for as part of your Recital Fees and are yours to keep.

  • Do NOT wash your costume.

    Hang your costume in a safe place. Do NOT play in your costume before Dress Rehearsals/the Recital. You only have ONE costume and there aren’t any replacements!

    Costume Selection/Sizes/Alterations: Our admin team spends many hours to determine the right costumes for each class. Costumes are always age appropriate and of great quality. Keep in mind, to keep the cost of costumes down, the majority of costumes are ordered from a catalog and not custom made for each dancer. Therefore: pants, sleeves, straps, waistbands, etc. might need adjustment. Alterations are the responsibility of the dancer’s parent/guardian and are usually very minor if even needed.

  • Our studio has some tights in-stock, but supplies are limited. We have convenient dance shoe sizing kits at our studio. Ask our staff to size your dancer during their class then purchase any required items through our online dance shop or schedule a fitting appointment.

    Do NOT wait to purchase the tights & shoes listed next to your dancer’s class in this packet! Shipping can sometimes take 2 weeks, so purchase items NOW!

  • This information can be found next to your dancer’s class in both the Dress Rehearsal Info packet and their Recital Show Info packet.
