5. All dressing rooms will be sepeated according to age and gender.

6. Older dancers need full stage makeup. The young children need a little blush, lipstick and mascara because of the bright stage lights. All students must have their hair in buns and no bangs.

8. DO NOT GO INTO THE LOBBY OR AUDIENCE WITH COSTUMES, TAP SHOES OR BALLET SLIPPERS ON.

9. As a courtesy to others in the audience and dancers on the stage, please refrain from exiting and entering your reserved seats during the dance routines.

The performer(s) that are on stage could belong to the family that is sitting beside or behind you.
