Costumes have arrived and Costume Pick Up Day was a BIG HIT! Please try on your costumes ASAP! If you think your dancer needs a different size, please bring the costume up to the studio, and try it on for your teacher. If adjustments need to be made, we will do so in the office. Please remember that these costumes are not a custom fit to each dancer, but a range of sizes. All extra costumes will be sent back next Friday, May 24th, so that will be the last day to make any costume adjustments.

Thanks for understanding!

Stage Mom Duties:

- Acting as the primary source of communication (i.e. Liaison) between the KJ Dance Faculty and dancers’ parent(s).

- Relaying information and answering their questions when possible. (All answers can be found online!)

- Helping with your class at dress rehearsal.

(*PERK!!! While the students are on stage rehearsing, the stage mom can video or take photos from the front row.)

- Helping backstage/in the balcony/ in your assigned room during the concert performance. Dancers need to be backstage 5 dances prior to their performance.

(This includes overseeing your class for the entire dress rehearsal as well as the show.)

- Helping dancers with their entrances and exits that the KJ faculty will inform you of and walk you through. (i.e. on and off stage).

- Monitoring your class backstage and in the balcony, while they excitedly wait for their opportunity to show their family, friends, and faculty what they’ve worked so hard for all year!

- Stage Moms also get the opportunity to watch from the stage wings at the concert performance.

- Parking is free at Allen PAC.

Please see the spreadsheet below to identify your dancer's concert performance assignment. Classes are labeled by location, day, time, genre and instructor.
