WHEN: SATURDAY Evening – MAY 25th at the Braden Keller Community Center
**Parking is limited at Braden Keller, but you can park on the streets, and in the neighboring parking lots. (I believe there is a church nearby).
REHEARSAL and SETUP:
**Since this is a new venue for us, we will be having a Rehearsal Walkthrough at 10:00 am that day. (No costumes). While the kids are with their teachers, we ask that you meet us in the main gym area to help set up for the show! We will have LOTS to do! 🙂
A lot of Information on this page! Take the time to read thoroughly!!!
PERFORMANCE ARRIVAL:
Each performer should arrive for their block, dressed and ready to go with hair and makeup done in their 1st performance costume and tights. Please wear a long t-shirt OVER your costume to protect it from spills during dinner. One parent MUST stay with the performer during this time to see they get fed before the show and reserve your table for your family. **Please share space on your tables with other families to accomodate the large number of guests coming. Utilize EVERY chair!
WAITING ROOM: Your child’s class will be sitting together as a group IN THE ORDER of performance in the waiting room down the hall. There will be helpers with each class to keep them stay quiet and settled, however one parent is welcome to wait there with your small child if needed until they perform. We will have several check point stations with our staff in the waiting room, on deck, and on stage to help your performer enter and exit properly.
AFTER THEY PERFORM: DO NOT PICK UP YOUR CHILD AT THE STAGE!!! It causes mass chaos at the stage entrance and kids get lost in the shuffle and/or pushed and injured, causing delays and confusion. Your child will return to the waiting room with their class after performing and you may pick them up back there.
DRESS: The Dinner Show is “Sunday Best” so come to watch dressed nice!
ROSES: We will have Beautiful Long Stem Roses available for purchase at the show that you can give to your performer. $3.00 each. We will take cash, venmo and cash app
DINNER INSTRUCTIONS : For all those who ordered a dinner entree, please check in at the door for your ticket packet – you will hand in a ticket in exchange for your meal. You may eat at any point during the show – but please do not move around or get up from your table during a performance – move in between performances. And please do so quietly as the show will run continuously. Please also keep voices quiet as you converse amongst your table.
MENU: We are having Rudy’s Barbecue! You must Pre-Order!!! Your account will be charged in May for your meal orders. You will receive a ticket at the entrance to allow access to pick up your meals
Meal Choices:
- Mac N Cheese $8 (served with chips and a drink)
- Chicken $12 (served with chips and a drink)
- Sausage $12 (served with chips and a drink)
- Brisket $14 (served with chips and a drink)
PHOTOGRAPHY/VIDEO: When it is time for your child to perform, you may come up to the front and video/take pictures. PLEASE KNEEL!!!! Sit low so as not to block anyone behind you. You are welcome to take photos and videos during the show and livestream the performance for anyone watching at home. Please make sure you are not blocking anyone’s view while doing so. Our photographer will be taking some action/candid shots throughout the night and we will be doing video for all the routines.
**DURING THE SHOW: Please be quiet while at your tables, please whisper so as not to disrupt the performers. Please remain seated while a routine is being performed – and only get up in between performances if needed. Please clap and cheer for ALL routines, even if it is not your child.
AFTER YOUR CHILD PERFORMS: After each group performs, they will walk back to the waiting area with their teacher. If your child is only in one class routine, you may come get them to sit with you at your table for the rest of the show. (put the t-shirt back on to protect costume). If they are in more than one routine, please go with them to help them quickly change into their next costume and then bring them back to the waiting area with their teacher.
COSTUME CHANGING: Parents, please keep your childs costume bag at the table with you, (not in the waiting room) and meet them in the restroom or changing area to help them quickly change for their next routine. Then bring them back to the waiting area with their class to perform.
AWARDS: We will be doing awards differently this year – each student will be called up to the stage by name to receive their award, so please stay until the end of the block. They may return to their seat after receiving it. For littles, please escort your child.

COSTUMES: Store it in a safe place! Hang on a hanger and fluff out the skirt (if applicable) – don’t lose the hair accessory (if it comes with one). *Account must be paid in full to receive costumes.
- When it arrives, try the outfit on, but not the tights! It should fit snugly. (Don’t put on the tights until you are dressing for the actual recital). Feel free to pin up or make slight alterations to allow a better fit (without compromising the look of the costume – reach out to us if you need help with this – no charge)

Shoe requirements for each class:
YOU will be responsible for the shoes as follows – Please get them NOW, if you don’t already have some! If you do already have them, please clean them up, polish etc so they look nice.
- Ballet classes: nude or pink colored ballet slippers. You can find these at Target or Walmart. If you already have some, just clean them so they look nice. Please tie the bow in a double knot and then cut the strings off.
If you can’t find any in stores, you can get them on Amazon – but it takes a few days. If buying online, go 1 full size UP from their true shoe size. For example, if your daughter’s toe fits to the edge of a size 13 shoe, then order a size 1 ballet slipper. If your daughter has toe space in a size 13 (so her true size is probably a 12 1/2), then get a size 13 1/2. (The idea is to get 1 full size bigger).
- Jazz Classes: Tan Jazz Shoes (shown below), or nude colored Ballet Slippers (shown above)
- Halo’s Dance Company Competition Team: Tan Jazz Shoes – and other competition shoe attire
- Hip Hop classes: Any Athletic Shoes
- Tumbling: they will perform with bare feet, so no shoes are required.
- Cheerleading: All white athletic shoes and white ankle socks – (Walmart and Target should have some)
- Acting and Improv: Any pair of non-slip shoes (athletics would be best) – This class will not have a set costume since it will change depending on the skit. We will provide a t-shirt and you may wear jeans or anything else the teacher suggests.
