If you are not working backstage during the show, you will not be allowed to go back and forth to the backstage. Parents or family members that have volunteered to work backstage need to remember that they are there to help ALL of our dancers and NOT just their dancer. We do appreciate your help!

Dancers may bring a water bottle but please no soda. We don’t want anyone to ruin their costumes.
Colored Pencils and a coloring book or paper or something that they can sit quietly with while waiting for their turn to go on stage will help to keep them happy while they wait. (DVD players may be helpful as well.) Students must stay until after the finale. Please make sure to check with the parents in the dressing room to sign out your child before you leave. We want to make sure that every child makes it home safely.

Please make sure to put your child’s name on each and every piece of their costume, shoes, tights, etc. Dancers are not allowed in the audience during the show. Remember costumes are worn only in the dressing rooms and on stage.

Recital Pictures - Valerie Meeker of Valerie Meeker’s Photography will be taking our recital pictures. There will be order forms to fill out. The dancer will need to hand in an order form and money for each costume sitting in order to get an individual picture taken in that costume. For example, combo classes will have two different costumes so would need two completed order forms if you want individual pictures taken in each outfit. If your student is in multiple classes, you will need an order form and money for each costume you want an individual picture taken. The proofs will then be online at www.valeriesphoto.com for you to view and place an additional order if you would like. Once you are logged into her homepage, click “Events”. Then find By Grace Recital 2020. You will have to enter your email address and then you will see all the pictures and be able to place your order. Once you checkout, you will get your total. You will need to mail your check and make payable to: Valerie Meeker, 487 SW 700 Rd., Deepwater, Missouri 64740. Once your payment is received, the order will be placed and she will either mail it to you or deliver it to the studio, whichever option you choose at checkout.
