  • Arrive at rehearsal in nude leotard/tights, street shoes and coverup with makeup and hair done. ​See hair examples below. Makeup should at minimum be blush, lipstick and eye shadow/mascara. Enough so they don't wash out under the bright lights. If your dancer comes back without any makeup we will probably put some on her. We prefer you to have it already done. 

  • No underwear under your costume.  It’s a distraction. EVERY STUDENT MUST WEAR A NUDE LEOTARD with CLEAR STRAPS under their costume. 

  • No nail polish. No jewelry. For older girls hat have their nails done for prom, you color must be clear or at most a very pale nude. If it looks pink we will make you remove it or cover it. 

  • Go to dressing room, find a place for your things(make sure EVERYTHING is labeled) and put on your first costume.

  • Go sit in auditorium and wait to be called for your dance. 

  • As soon as you've rehearsed all your classes you may leave.

  • Leave your LABELED costume, shoes etc. in an organized fashion in the dressing room. 

  • Dancer's must have an adult at the rehearsal with them. 

  • YOU MAY NOT MISS REHEARSAL!  If you do, you may NOT perform in the recital.

  • ABSOLUTELY NO FOOD OR DRINK IN THE AUDITORIUM or in the dressing room. This is not just our rule, but LMH’s rule as well.

  • You may take as many pictures/videos as you want during dress rehearsal.  Please no pictures or videos during the recital because it is being recorded.  You may take pictures with family and friends in the lobby after the recital. There will be a link to the video shared once we receive it.

  • No food, drink, electronics or drawing materials may be brought back to the dressing room. We have water available and appropriate toys/entertainment.

  • DO NOT line up to pick up your dancer until after the recital is finished. This has been a problem in the past and creates backstage chaos. It is also inconsiderate of the dancers that are still performing and the families that are watching.
