Guest Information and Etiquette

  • Absolutely no recording or photography is permitted. This includes cameras, cell phones, iPads, or any other devices. This is a safety hazard and privacy issue for our dancers. Our choreography is property of SESD, and we need to be cautious of where and how that is distributed.
  • Guests should remain seated during all dances. If you must leave the auditorium, please do so in between dances–not when dancers are on stage.
  • Each Christmas show should run between 40 to 60 minutes. Guests should plan to stay for the entire show; all our dancers work very hard to learn and polish their dances, and proper etiquette states guests should not leave early. No performers will be permitted to leave before the show ends.
  • All dancers are required to stay for the entire show and can be picked up from the Chorus room after the final announcement at the end of the show. This policy is not only polite theatre etiquette, but also allows SESD to ensure each dancer is picked up by their parent/guardian. Dancers will wait in the Chorus room with our staff so you can enjoy the show!
  • Only dancers, instructors, SESD Staff are permitted backstage pre-show, during the show, and post-show.
  • Dancers and their belongings should remain in the Chorus room with an SESD staff member prior to and after their show performance until parents pick them up. Parents are allowed in the Chorus room only before and after the show.

Performer Preparedness & Information

  • Our dancers will not be in full costumes as they will for the Spring Showcases. Instead, they will wear items that can easily be purchased through our Class Attire vendor Nimbly! **Please note: all items ordered for the Christmas Show can be worn in class after!**
  • Personal Belongings:
    • All dancers should not bring any items “backstage.” All street shoes/cover ups/bags should remain in the Chorus room.
    • For quick shoe changes, you may bring a shoe-box sized bin for your shoes.
    • ***Label ALL PERSONAL ITEMS with dancers initials or first/last name. SESD and the Showcase venue cannot be held responsible for any items that become lost during showcase events.
    • ***Label the INSIDE of your dancer’s shoes with their initials or first/last name. They will most likely get mixed up backstage and we need to be able to quickly identify who they belong to.
    • Do not bring anything of value that cannot be replaced.
  • *Costume Accessory Organization:
    • Place any costumes or accessories in a clear Ziploc bag labelled with which costume it’s worn with. 
  • Show Line Up:
    • For dancers in multiple dances: Please print and tape the show line up to your costume box. Highlight your dancer’s dances. This helps dancers feel prepared, and eliminates stress backstage. Line ups will be available by the Showcase meeting date.
  • Hair & Nails:
    • No colored nail polish. Nude polish and “French tips” are acceptable.
      • This includes toenail polish if your dancer will be barefoot (Acro, sometimes Modern)
    • Hair should be slicked back with gel and hair spray, no bangs or “fly-aways.”
    • Dancers with hair in a bun should use a hair net over the bun and plenty of bobby pins.
  • Jewelry:
    • No earrings, bracelets, necklaces, etc. are permitted UNLESS approved.
  • Tights & Shoes:
    • Tights and shoes are generally the same as required by our Class Attire Policy; if different styles/colors are required, we will send that info out with other costume information.
    • Please make sure tights & shoes are clean and do not have holes.
  • Make Up & Other Products:
    • Please do not bring spray glitter (or anything in a spray can) to the venue. Roll-on glitter or glitter that is applied with a brush/make up applicator is acceptable, if desired.
    • Scented lotions/sprays/etc. are prohibited as they are unsafe for students with allergies, asthma, etc. Products that do not contain “fragrance” are fine.
    • Creative Movement and Foundations classes should have red lipstick. Other make up as desired by parent. We recommend light, natural blush and mascara.
    • Lipstick:
      • ALL PERFORMERS NEED RED LIPSTICK. Bright lights wash out dancer’s faces, and you can wipe it right off after the show!
    • In addition to red lipstick, dancers need to wear stage make up:
      • Creative Movement, First Steps, Tiny Tumblers, Foundations, Fancy Flippers, and Ballet/Tap Level 1: Other than red lip, makeup is at parent’s discretion. We recommend a little blush and some nude/neutral shimmer eyeshadow.
      • Levels 2-6 and Beginner/Intermediate/Advanced Hip Hop and Production: Full stage make-up (foundation if needed, blush, eye shadow, eyeliner, and mascara)
