Frequently Asked Questions

    • Dancers should arrive in their first costume with hair & makeup done. Please use restroom before checking in.

    • Bring all costumes, shoes, and accessories. Label everything, including shoes. Lost & found items will be donated after the recital—we are not responsible for lost belongings.

    • When walking from the garage, enter through the door on the left that has a sign on it that says “Dancer Entrance”.

    • ALL Dancers will check in at the security table and then will be escorted to their assignment dressing rooms.

    • Videos are NOT allowed to be taken during the show, it is distracting to the dancer. Every dancer will be provided the video of the show, once the video is edited by the production company!

    • Please do not enter or exit the auditorium while there are dancers on stage. This is distracting to the dancers and the audience. Please wait until the dance is completed to enter or exit.

    • Cell phones must be turned off or put on silent during the recital.

    • There is no food or drink allowed in the auditorium

    • Our dress rehearsal is a closed rehearsal.Only one guardian per dancer is allowed to attend Dress Rehearsal & no siblings are allowed.

    • Once a dancer is done dancing, they will be dismissed to their guardian in the auditorium to watch the show or they are free to leave

    • All classes will bow at the end of the show and then be escorted back to the dressing room to be dismissed at the end of the show.

    • One parent or guardian must meet dancers at the security table. For safety, Legacy staff will only dismiss dancers to recognized adults. Please ensure our staff is familiar with the person picking up your dancer.

    • No food or drink should be brought into the dressing room except disposable water bottles.

    • Only dancers, backstage volunteers, & Legacy staff are permitted backstage & in dressing rooms during shows. Parents will not be permitted to go into the dressing rooms or backstage areas. This is for the safety of your children and to make it less hectic backstage. The security desk will be set up during the entire show.

  • Makeup-Suggested makeup is that dancers should wear foundation and concealer to match their skin tone (contour optional), eyeshadows in light brown or neutral colors, black eyeliner, black mascara on top lashes, red lipstick, and a light touch of highlighter. Finish with setting spray to hold makeup in place! For younger dancers, we leave makeup up to the parents discretion.

    Hair- Bun or PonyTail depends on class.

    • Bun- pull hair straight back into a high bun on the crown of the head, use a hair net to secure the bun and prevent flyaways.

    • Ponytail- part their hair down the center and slick it back into a low ponytail at the nape of the neck. Use an elastic that matches the dancer’s hair color, plenty of gel or hairspray and a soft-bristled brush. The ponytail itself should be neat- straightened, curled or natural hair texture all are fine. Hair should be secured with an elastic that matches the dancer’s hair color or a clear rubber band.

    Jewelry- Please remove all jewelry. Stud earrings are allowed if they can’t be removed—no other jewelry or bright colored nail polish permitted (nude/pale colors are fine).

    • Costumes are handed out in class 2-3 weeks before the recital.

    • Tights are included in your recital fee.

    • Make sure no underwear or straps are visible under costumes. Dancers with costume changes should wear a nude-colored leotard underneath.
