SHOWCASE MEETINGS
APRIL 8-13th, 2024
We will be having showcase meetings during regularly scheduled classes the week of April 8th- 13th, 2024. We ask that at least one parent and/or guardian come to your movers class to review all of the details for the showcase. If you can not attend you can come to another class of the same level that week. Dancers will also try on their costumes this week. They should come dressed in dance clothes.
COSTUME INFORMATION
The Institute will be providing a costume for your mover for the performance. Costumes will be picked up at dress rehearsal on May 18th, 2024 and returned after the showcase on May 19th, 2024. All students will need to provide their own tights, shoes and any necessary undergarments. You can find those items here. Fancy Dancer will also have tights, shoes and leotards available for purchase at the studio during showcase meeting week April 8th-April 13th, 2024

Makeup is not necessary, but if you do want your mover to have some makeup on, the best thing to do is to keep it simple!

DRESS REHEARSAL INFORMATION
May 18th, 2024 at the Institute
Each class will have a check-in time. Please be on time. (See below for breakdown).
At the time of check-in, your mover must come dressed in the proper tights, leotards, hair how you would like in your movers photo, and shoes in their hands. We are not allowing any GLITTER hair spray as it will ruin the floors.
Upon check in, your mover will receive all costumes in their costume bag. They will then need to put their costume on in the provided space. We ask one parent to stay to help dress and undress their movers.
Once your mover is dressed, they will run through their dance in costume in Studio B.
After the run through of their dance, if you have purchased a showcase photo you will then take the photo with Fluid Frames. You will be given a time slot on the day of dress rehearsal.
Your mover will be released once the run through of their dance is complete and they have taken their photo (if purchased).
You will be responsible for taking your costume home and wearing it to the showcase on show day. Once costumes go home, they should be put away safely and not played in. You will be responsible for all parts of the costume. Your mover should be dressed in their first costume of the performance as indicated on their costume bag.
Costumes will be returned during the showcase and if there is any damage or lost items you will be subject to a lost/damaged costume payment to the Institute.
*Expect each class to be at the Institute for one hour unless your dancer is taking a photo. There will be separate time slots for this.*
