We’d really love your help.
Running a show is no mean feat!
If you have spare time while you’re waiting in the foyer or just want to get involved in some fun please reach out!

Ushering, transporting, folding, sequining, printing, painting, creating, sorting, tidying, you name it… it takes a village to run a show!

Chat with us at the front desk or email us on the address below.

Also If you are able to help backstage during the show your child is not in please email us!

Please drop off your dancer to the stage door (wrought iron gates on Aphrasia St) at 9am on show day. We will meet dancers and take attendance. It is really important for dancers to be on time as we need get ready and familiar with the venue, so that we are all comfortable for our big moment!

Parents are welcome to wait in the foyer after drop-offs. We will have barista coffee and beautiful little gifts available for purchase.

After the show we will have a designated pickup area in the foyer to make sure each child meets their parent easily. Please wait in the foyer – we will bring your children to you!

Please come with your hair done! If you need help, bring a brush, pins, hair ties and let us know in advance so we can help you

Please have two low space buns. If the dancer’s hair is shorter, do your best to put them into two piggy tails. We recommend doing hair when it’s wet as it stays in place easier.

We like to keep it very simple for our little dancers. Since we have bright lights on stage, it can be nice to accentuate some features.

We invite all dancers to wear a little bit of pink lipstick (to show our beautiful big smiles all the way to the last row of spectators) and some eyebrow pencil, especially if blonde. If you prefer to send your child without makeup, that is fine too.
Please don’t add glitter on faces, if you’d like some sparkle pop it in their hair before arriving.

We recommend eating before you arrive. If you’d like to bring snacks be mindful of the food you pack.
Please don’t include items that are messy,
could stain clothing, or stays on your fingers.
We work hard on our costumes and
want to keep them as tidy as possible!

Nut free snacks only please!

Dancers will be required to wear their own well fitting, light coloured underwear under their costumes. We recommend a skin coloured body suit from Geelong Dance Supplies. Great for costume changes and those that are sensitive to different fabrics, but it is not required. No bike-shorts are needed.
Dancers are welcome to wear whatever dance clothes to the venue. We will do a run through of our numbers in those clothes at the start of the day before getting changed.
We encourage all dancers to wear a zip through jacket, which will keep them warm once in costume and which we can easily take off without messing up their beautiful hair.

Please send your dancer with a named "green bag" style bag (with a base). We will use this to store your clothes and shoes while in costume and to ensure that everything goes back to their correct owners.
Label, label, label! Clearly name all water bottles, lunch bags, clothing and bags with their name. We aim for no lost socks and jumpers this year! Please do not bring valuables.
