Click here for the Dress Rehearsal schedule.
Performance Day Drop-off Sunday, June 8:
All students who perform in only one show should arrive in costume with hair neatly in a bun and light stage make-up already done. Dressing room space is limited. Drop off your child with a staff member. Only volunteers are allowed backstage.
11:30am: all students in 2pm show will rehearse dance onstage
3:30pm: all students in 5pm show will rehearse dance onstage
Getting There: The Gordon Theater is a 7 minute drive from the studio. Driving directions are available on the Rutgers website.
It is also accessible by NJ public transit. Take the PATCO line from Philadelphia to the Camden City Hall stop at Market and 5th Streets or the Riverline Lightrail to the Cooper St/Rutgers U stop at Cooper and 3rd Streets. Both stops are mere blocks from the campus. See the NJ Transit website for timetables.
Volunteers: Sign up to volunteer backstage on the bulletin board sign-up sheet, or through email. We need 2 or 3 parent volunteers assigned to each class (depending on class size). For classes performing in both shows, we ideally like 2 sets of volunteers so that volunteer parents will have a chance to see one of the shows. Volunteers attend Dress Rehearsal day and arrive on Show day at 11am for the 2pm show and 3:15pm for the 5pm show. Detailed volunteer procedures available.
Costumes: You may take your costume home once all tuition is paid. Remember your costume and hairpiece on show day. Classes in only one show are welcome to come to the theater and dress rehearsal dressed in their costumes.
Shoes/Tights: ALL BALLET CLASSES (including PRE-BALLET) should have light pink ballet footed tights, and pink leather or canvas ballet slippers with a strap sewn (NOT TIED) across the instep. Theater Dance should have tan (non-shimmer) tights and tan jazz shoes. Boys should wear black ballet slippers and black jazz shoes.
Tickets: $15 each. First come, first served. We cannot sell tickets the day of, so purchase yours now. We accept cash or check at our main Old City location and check only at our Rittenhouse or Wynnewood locations.
Tickets are general admission – which means there is no assigned seating – and are only valid for the performance time printed on the ticket. If students are going to attend one of the performances in which they are not participating, they will need a ticket to ensure that there is adequate seating. A child who is sitting on your lap the entire show does not need a ticket.
Filming/DVDs: DO NOT TAKE FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY DURING THE SHOW. It upsets and distracts the performers. You are not permitted to film during the performance but we will have the performance professionally filmed. DVDs will be available for $25. The DVD will have both performances. They must be pre-paid/pre-ordered. Form is at front desk.
After the Show: One parent/guardian can pick up each child at the door to the dressing room. A volunteer can bring your child to you.
What if I am attending both shows?: If your child is in both the 2pm and the 5pm, he or she should stay at the theater and pack a lunch with plenty of water. If you and your other family members would like to leave, we recommend the Cherry Hill Mall for dining (Capital Grill, Seasons 52, food court, etc.) and shopping. It is about 15 minutes from the theater.
Let us know if you have any questions.
Mandatory Dress Rehearsal for the 9th Annual Spring Showcase is on Sunday, June 1 from 10am-4pm at our main location in Old City, 219 Cuthbert Street, 3rd Floor. The time listed is your arrival time. Your class will rehearse 10 minutes later for about 10 minutes. If your child is in only one dance, he or she may arrive in costume with hair and make-up done. We will not hold rehearsal times for students who are late. The class will rehearse without him or her.
No coffee is allowed in the studio on this day.
If you attend the Rittenhouse or Wynnewood locations and have never been to our main studios, you will use the silver call box to the right of the front door to call upstairs. Press the up arrow until you see “PHILADANCE” and then press the below Call button. We can then buzz you in.
If you want to purchase a photography package from Debbie Boardman, you must arrive by 2:00pm to get photos taken. She is done at 2:30pm. You will pay her directly.
Hair for girls: Pulled back into a bun on the crown of the head. Use a hair tie, plenty of hair pins, a hair net, and hair spray. If hair is too short for a bun, it must be secured away from the face as best as possible.
Hair for boys: Neat and clean. Should not fall into the face.
Costumes: Remember the costume itself, but also extra bobby pins to secure the hair piece. Footed pink ballet tights and pink ballet slippers for girls in Ballet. Tan tights and tan jazz shoes for girls in Theater Dance. Black ballet shoes for boys in Ballet. Black jazz shoes for boys in Theater Dance.
