Dancers participating in any of our recitals DO NOT require a wristband.

Anyone in the audience during ANY showtime WILL require a wristband for that specific showtime.

Dancers who have siblings dancing in another show will be given a wristband (free of charge) to sit in the audience and watch, however they will count towards your attendee number for each show.  This band can only be used by dancers.

Families who would need to attend more than 1 “recital” (Ex: dancer(s) in morning recitals & afternoon recitals) - you will receive additional information via email from us.  Be on the lookout for that soon!

We do not charge for children under 3 years old to attend the recital, unless they will be occupying their own seat. We also ask that you consider our dancers and other audience members when bringing young children to watch, and if they become loud, distressed or disturb any other audience members, please take them outside to let off a bit of steam before returning to enjoy the rest of the show.

Each recital showtime will have a different color wristband.  Make sure to purchase the correct showtime wristband(s).  (see page 3 of your recital handbook)

Last day to purchase wristbands is June 12th.

If any showtimes still have seats available after June 12th, wristband sales will open back up on June 15th for anyone to purchase additional seats. First come, first served basis.

Wristbands must be picked up at DRESS REHEARSAL 6/17 & 6/18.

If you have any questions about wristbands, please see the FAQ's below or email us at illuminationdancede@gmail.com prior to placing your order.

Question 8

RECITAL FAQ'S

Accepted Answer

Q: How do I purchase recital wristbands?
A: Wristbands must be purchased online starting 6/1.  www.illuminationdance.com/shop
 
Q: Is there a limit of how many wristbands I can buy?
A: Yes - Cast A (6), Cast B (5), Cast C (6), Cast D (6)
 
Q: When will my wristband order be ready for pickup?
A: At DRESS REHEARSAL - please bring your order confirmation with you.

Q: Can wristbands be returned or exchanged?
A: No, all sales are final.
 
Q: What if I lose a wristband before the show?
A: You would need to purchase another wristband to gain entry into the show.
 
Q: Do I need to purchase admission for my dancer?
A: No, they are the performers!

Q: Is there assigned seating?
A: No, seating is first come, first served. There will be no reserved seating prior to any show.
 
Q: My child is in the morning recital showtimes of 10:00am & 12:00pm. Are both of these showtimes IDENTICAL shows? 
A: Yes! Your child will get to show off their hard work twice!

Q: Do I have to purchase wristbands to BOTH of my child’s recital showtimes? Ex: Morning Recital is at 10:00am and 12:00pm. 
A: If you are planning to sit in the audience for each showtime, yes.  Wristbands will be specific for EACH showtime and you will only be allowed in if you have that specific wristband.

Q: Can I be in the dressing room for one of my child’s showtimes?
A: Yes, female family members are permitted in the dressing room. No wristband would be needed for this showtime if you’re staying in the dressing room the whole time. Ex: I’m planning to watch the 10:00am show so I would purchase a band for that showtime but I am going to stay in the dressing room for the 12:00pm show, so I do not need a band for that one.  This also frees up a seat for another family member to attend and watch the recital.

Q: I have children dancing in more than 1 “recital” ex: Cast B & Cast C Recitals. Do I have to purchase wristbands for each?
A: Wristbands must be purchased for any showtime you are planning to be in the audience, however we will be sending you additional details about this. Please look for that in your emails very soon!

Q: Should I purchase wristbands for my extended family/friends?
A: Yes, they will NOT be able to come to the studio to pick them up, so you should order all the wristbands you need, pick them up at dress rehearsal and distribute them to your attendees.

Q: Do I have to attend dress rehearsal?
A: YES! It is VERY important to be at dress rehearsal.

Q: Where do I find the Dress Rehearsal schedule?
A: In your recital handbook!

Q: Are the recital show orders the same as dress rehearsal?
A: No, not typically.  The actual show orders will be posted for you to see & snap pictures of at dress rehearsal, so you will know what costume to come dressed in for show days!

Q: Do I have to wear makeup?
A: Yes! The stage lights totally wash out the dancers, so they need to wear makeup to help enhance and bring out their natural features. See the Hair and Makeup section in your recital handbook for more details.  If you have any concerns about your child wearing makeup, feel free to reach out to us - illuminationdancede@gmail.com.

Q: When do I get my Recital/Finale Shirt?
A: At dress rehearsal or in class if they are available sooner.

Parents: Please locate FULL recital related details in your Recital Handbooks as soon as they are available! These will be emailed out to you as soon as they are finalized and will be available inside your DSPro account under Documents / Files.
