2020 Virtual Recital

We are so excited for our upcoming Virtual Recital to end our Spring Semester 2020! Our DHDC dancers have put so much heart into learning these wonderful recital dances via Zoom the past two months, and we can’t wait to share them with all of our DHDC families! This is a fun time to let our dancers shine and show off their hard work this semester, so no need to stress about getting your setup or makeup etc. perfect. If you have questions or are looking for recommendations, please don’t hesitate to ask us! We thank you so much for joining us for this special event, and we hope you enjoy the show!

Recital Care Packages/Costumes:

Will be delivered May 22 - 24 to the address on your DHDC account. Please double check your address and update if needed. This package will include all of your recital costumes and some other goodies from DHDC to celebrate your dancer!

Stage Setup

Everyone has a different home space to work with for dancing, and that is no problem! Find the biggest open space you have (a room, the driveway, the yard) where you have internet access. Clear out any furniture or items that can be easily moved. Feel free to hang up some sheets for “curtains” or add some lamps for “stage lighting,” whatever you like! Set up your laptop, tablet, or phone on something higher and angle it down slightly to capture the most performance space. Set up chairs for your audience members (the family) behind the device, so your dancer can perform for you while performing for zoom! There is no right or wrong performance space at home, just have fun with it! I recommend testing out your performance space during this last week of classes.

Hair, Makeup, Tights, Shoes

  • Dancers should wear basic stage makeup (if available at home). Brown/neutral eyeshadows, pink cheeks, red lips, black liner/mascara.

  • Remove any jewelry, hairbands, watches, etc.

  • Hair should be in a slick high bun.

  • Pink Tights and Ballet Shoes: Creative Movement, Youth Combination, Youth Company, Junior I Ballet, Junior II Ballet, Senior Ballet, Senior Pointe

Performance Day Schedule - Saturday, May 30th:

Dancers should be ready in hair, makeup, and costume a few minutes prior to their class’s performance time below. Zoom links will be emailed out next week, which you will use to join just like a regular class. Zoom has a required update coming soon; please make sure your zoom app is up to date prior to show day. Once you join the class, dancers will then set to places with help from their instructor and run their dance. If there are any technical issues, we have blocked extra time if needed. After we have run through their class dance, each group will reset and perform our finale.
