Showcase is a required performance event for all students who participate in our Fall/Primary Session classes held Sept of 2024 – May of 2025.
General Information is as follows:
Dress Rehearsal Schedule: Sat May 31, 2025.
LOCATION FOR DRESS REHEARSAL WILL BE STARZ STUDIO IN OAK GROVE!
COSTUMES:
-Students will be measured for their costumes in their normal class times. All Recreational students are All-inclusive this year, meaning all your costume fees are included in your monthly tuition. Nothing further will be due.
-Costumes will be disbursed during April’s watch week. Expect your costumes to have a few details you must attend to (i.e. sewing on straps, attaching bows, etc.)
-Pictures & dress rehearsal will be held on Saturday May 31, 2025. Location is Starz Studio of Performing Arts but it will only require about 1-2 hours of your time. Students should not be allowed to wear their costumes until the performances, except for picture day. We cannot replace costumes or tights that have been damaged. Please make sure tap shoes have elastic instead of laces.
-Performers should wear light eye shadow, blush, and lipstick so as not to appear “faceless” under the bright stage lights. Makeup should be worn for pictures, dress rehearsals, and the performances. Please, no body or hair glitter.

FATHER DAUGHTER ROUTINES:
-Our Father Daughter routines are a highlight of our Showcase Performances. These are lighthearted, fun and very simple character routines in which our students have an opportunity to dance with the man in their lives (uncles, grandfathers, friends etc. will work too!). This is a terrific opportunity for Dad’s to make some memories with their child!
-Costuming will be detailed prior to your first rehearsal and is usually something we ask you to get on your own.
-The routines will be taught via a Youtube link/video. Participation is open to all students, only one child per “dad” please. Dads with more than one child should sign up for a separate routine with each child. Come join the fun!!
