VOLUNTEER SIGN UP May 2nd – June 1st
A student’s recital participation assumes a volunteer responsibility from a parent. Volunteering is a required part of your recital commitment. Each
family is required to provide at least one volunteer. Each recital dancer’s account will be assessed a $25+tax backstage supervision fee prior to
recital. For those dancers whose family provides at least one volunteer at recital, the supervision fee will be removed from their account following
the recital. So that family members may enjoy their child’s performance, we need and encourage you to volunteer for a recital in which your child is
not performing (if you prefer). There are 4 different performances at CY Stephens this year, giving you a variety of options and opportunities to
volunteer. Performance day/times are as follows:
Saturday, June 6th 10:00 a.m.
Saturday, June 6th 1:30 p.m.
Saturday, June 6th 4:30 p.m.
Saturday, June 6th 7:00 p.m.
Recital Performance A (Children’s Production “Frozen”)
Recital Performance B (includes “Raymonda”)
Ames Dance Festival Produced by the Iowa Youth Ballet
Recital Performance C (Includes Jazz/Tap/Contemporary/Lyrical section “School’s Out”)
A sign-up sheet will be available online starting May 2nd. An email will be sent that day with the link you will need to use. There will be specific
assignments for each of the performances listed above. Please be sure to confirm your volunteer date and time when you bring your child to staging
rehearsals. We will also be reviewing your volunteer duties at that time. If you have questions, please contact the backstage coordinator, Lisa Davis
at 515-233-0826 or info@rtdance.com. We need support from every family to make this work. Thanks in advance for volunteering.
TICKETS
There will be no ticket sales this year. Your recital fee covers the cost of your admission, and this was included in your monthly payments. Invite as
many people as you wish to the performances, everyone is welcome.
COSTUMES
Costume pick-up begins May 26th. All charges for the year need to be cleared to receive costumes (even if you are on auto-billing).
We will not schedule a day for costumes to be worn in class, as all costumes will be tried on prior to pickup. Any necessary alterations are the
responsibility of the customer.
TIGHTS MUST BE WORN UNDER ALL COSTUMES
--Please save the new tights that come with your costume for photo day and the recital, so they are clean with no holes or runs.

Dancenter. Classes with rental costumes are:
IYB Advanced piece Komediante
IYB Intermediate 1& 2 piece Amour et Printemps

dancers who have quick or multiple costume changes.

MAKE-UP AND HAIR—see page 17 for additional instruction
Dancers are asked to do hair and make-up at home before coming to the theatre.
Instructions for make-up (for female AND male performers)
Make-up should be slightly darker than street make-up and should include blush, lipstick and eyeliner (drawn at bottom of eye, slightly beyond
corner of the eye). Dancers should bring lipstick with them to the performance for touch-ups as needed.
Instructions for hair
Irish
WGRIPK15, WGRIA15, and WGWIB15 Irish students need to see the instructor for instructions on how to wear their hair. For any student in
an XL Irish class, hair pieces are required. Hairpieces MUST be ordered from http://www.cheerleaderhairpieces.com/ in the "Hottie" 10 inch
style.
Medium to long length (Ballet):
All girls with medium length and long hair need to wear a bun (or pre-approved hairstyle) for ballet. No bangs allowed. The bun needs to be
tightly secured with a hairnet and bobby pins. A setting gel and hair spray will help to keep the bangs back and the hair on the sides of the
head and the back of neck in place. Please bring your own comb for your hair touch-ups as needed.
Short length (Ballet):
Short hair should be curled or feathered back from the face and well sprayed.
Jazz-Tap
See instructor.
Boys & Men
Boys & men’s hair should be neatly trimmed, preferably off the ears and collar and out of the eyes.
Accelerated Training For Your Dancer
The XL programs represent an accelerated curriculum of classes. They are designed to train
dancers pursuing a more aggressive approach to dance technique training. XL programs
are open to all Dancenter students. Although age is an important factor, ability of the
dancer is the first consideration. All dancers’ placement in the XL program is based on
excellence level. Please contact Robert Thomas if you feel this program is for your dancer.

Parents, please help your dancer put on their costume and dance shoes for their first number (please remember to label all shoes and costume
pieces with the dancer's name). Then, if your child dances in the first act of “Frozen”, please take your dancer and their other pair of dance shoes

“Frozen” will remain in their dressing room with their volunteers.
5. Please plan a pick-up point with your child for after the show. Younger children must be picked up at their dressing area. For older children,
suggested meeting areas are the Green Room and the southeast stage door area.

DANCENTER DANCER SEASON OVERVIEW
 Dancenter Dancers learn a variety of dances each season.
 Dancenter Dancers participate in several workshops each year taught by nationally
known choreographers. Dancenter Dancers also bring in professional
choreographers to work privately with the entire group. Workshops are usually held
from October through March.
 Dancenter Dancers perform at up to six competitions and/or workshops per season.
Competitions usually take place from November through early May with the possibility
of Nationals during the summer.
 The competitions take place throughout the Midwest; as close as Des Moines or as far
away as Minneapolis and Kansas City.
BENEFITS OF DANCENTER DANCERS
 Dancenter Dancers provide the dancer the opportunity to learn and perform multiple
dance styles, including contemporary, jazz, lyrical, musical theater, and tap in small
group, Large Group, and production settings.
 Dancers learn stage presence, showmanship and self-confidence through the various
performance opportunities. Dancenter Dancers give the dancer the opportunity to
develop stronger technique through focused classes aimed at training the students in
the various styles.
CLASS REQUIREMENTS
 Because ballet technique is the foundation of all dance genres, enrollment in
Dancenter XL ballet classes is required of all Dancenter Dancers.
 Dancenter Dancer classes meet 1-2 times per week with class length increasing as the
dancers grow older.
 Enrollment in additional Dancenter classes is encouraged as additional time in the
studio makes the dancer stronger.
DANCENTER DANCER PHILOSOPHY
 The Dancenter Dancers are part of a group of like- minded individuals all striving for
the same goal of self improvement. Working as a group and supporting fellow
teammates are important values the Dancenter Dancers maintain throughout the
season. Dancers learn the importance of teamwork and how much each individual
contributes to the success of the whole. All Dancenter Dancers do their part to reach
for the stars!
