Dancer Showcase Preparation
Please arrive with make-up and hair done. Have your dancer ready in the required outfit for their first number.
HAIR –All dancers with long hair must wear their hair in a neat crown bun for ballet and lyrical, and a medium height pony for jazz, hip hop, acro and tap. If hair is too short to be pulled back, it should be secured away from the face to the best of your ability, or styled so as not to be a distraction while performing.
MAKE-UP - All dancers should wear neutral (dark browns, light tan) colored eyeshadow and mascara. Eye make-up should be applied to create a “smokey” look for our teen and senior dancers. Blush should be chosen based on the individual’s skin tone and applied to the apples of the cheeks. Younger dancers should wear light to medium pink lipstick, older dancers should wear a medium to dark pink lipstick. Remember, theatrical lights wash people out.
The studio will be CLOSED for Winter Break December 20th, 2026 through January 3rd, 2027.
Classes will resume Monday, January 4th, 2027.
FAQ’s
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
What if I want to help backstage during the show?
In order to keep the number of people inside the studio to a minimum, we will be using TDC teaching staff and select volunteers to run the dressing rooms and assist backstage for the shows.
Please keep in mind, if you feel your dancer needs special supervision, and you think you are the only one for the job, you MUST contact Miss Amanda, otherwise you will not be allowed to enter the backstage area.
$65.00 Showcase Fee? What’s that for?
Your $65.00 showcase fee (per student) covers the cost of the space rental, your dancer’s costume pieces, a souvenir showcase shirt and a credit to redeem on buy.tututix.com/transitionsdancecenter for 2 tickets to each show your dancer performs in. If your dancer is enrolled in multiple classes, an additional $5 costume rental fee will be owing per participating class. DUE IN FULL BY OCTOBER 10th.
Speaking of costumes….
Your dancer will not be receiving a full out, glitz and glam, WOWEE costume. With the holidays coming up, we would like to find ways to keep things affordable and easy for our dance families! Each dancer will receive some form of dance apparel or an accent piece that will be used to create their character. Ie: Reindeer may receive a headband and tutu, Train conductors may receive a hat and a vest, etc. NEW THIS YEAR: These items will be collected and kept by TDC at the end of your dancer’s performance. All dancers should be prepared to wear their “Very Nutty Nutcracker” shirt as a part of their costume.
PLEASE BE PREPARED TO PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING FOR YOUR DANCER
BALLET CLASSES: Pink ballet shoes. A pink or black leotard and skin tone tights. (Male dancers, black ballet shoes, black soccer shorts.)
JAZZ, and TAP CLASSES: Black jazz pants, shorts or leggings, a black leotard, black socks, black or tan jazz shoes or black tap shoes (depending on style of dance).
LYRICAL CLASSES: Black jazz pants, shorts or leggings, a black leotard, black socks, black or tan jazz shoes or half soles.
HIP HOP CLASSES: Black sweatpants, joggers, or leggings, mostly black or white converse, sneakers, or boots
*BALLET CLASSES - Colors for leotards will be assigned by October 31st.
Due to limited dressing space it is important to organize and LABEL your belongings prior to arrival.
When and where can I get tickets? How much are they?
Show specific General Admission tickets will be sold for $15 each. They may be purchased through buy.tututix.com/transitionsdancecenter beginning November 11th. *Your ticket credit will not be active unless your tuition and showcase fee have been paid in full.*
What if I REALLLLLLLY want to sit in the front row?
Our “Box Seat” tickets will be available for $30.00 per ticket. These consist of the middle section’s front two rows. They are show and seat specific. They will go on sale with our general admission tickets on November 11th, and are available on a first come, first serve basis. All ticket purchases will go through buy.tututix.com/transitionsdancecenter.
What if I have two dancers performing in two different casts?? Does my student who isn’t performing need a ticket?
No. Dancers wearing their “A Very Nutty Nutcracker” souvenir shirt will be admitted for free into the performance. They will need to be wearing the shirt to qualify for the free admittance. However, if you wish for them to join you in a Box Seat, they will need to have a purchased ticket.
Will “A Very Nutty Nutcracker” be videotaped?
“A Very Nutty Nutcracker” will not be professionally video taped. We ask that if you wish to film your dancer, you stand off to the side of the audience so as not to block any other audience member’s view. It is both a distraction for the dancers and disrespectful to other audience members.
The studio will be CLOSED for Winter Break December 20th, 2026 through January 3rd, 2027.
Classes will resume Monday, January 4th, 2027.
