Additional Items

Shoes/Tights

Students will also require the correct shoes and tights for the concert. Most students will have these items already as this is what they wear to class each week!

DROP OFF & PICK UP

On concert day, all of the students will be staying backstage with us for the duration of the concert. Students need to have their hair and makeup done and stockings on before being dropped off. Students are required to arrive 45mins before their show time.

During the dropping off times, we ask that one parent/guardian comes with their child into the drop off area, students will be directed to their dressing rooms once inside the theatre.

All students will need to be picked up from the drop off point after the show. Students will stay in this location and will need to be signed out by a parent/guardian before leaving.

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask us. We will ensure that we talk you through the concert day procedure again in the weeks leading up to the concert.

SECURITY & STUDENT SAFETY

To help with student organisation and safety, all students will be put into an allocated ‘group’ with staff and parent helper group leaders.

As always, the safety of our dance family is our #1 priority. On concert day all students will need to be signed in / out of security lists to gain access backstage. All backstage helpers will be issued with security passes that are required to be worn at all times. Only EPA DANCE staff and registered parent helpers are permitted backstage. We are unable to run messages or food to students, so please make sure they have everything before they come backstage for rehearsal and the recital/concert. There will be a someone at the door for the entire day checking passes. We do this to protect the students, please respect this policy. Please try not to bring anything valuable, especially electronic devices. Mobile phones are not to be taken backstage or in the changing areas during the concert. Our studio will take no responsibility if an item is damaged, misplaced, lost or stolen.
