The Mick Jagger Centre, Dartford.
We purchase costumes for every child taking part in the show. We try and keep costumes costs as low as possible. Your child will be provided with an envelope detailing the cost of their costumes. Please ensure payment is made by cash/bank transfer before the show weekend.
You will be informed when tickets go on sale. We always endeavour to keep ticket prices as low as possible. Ticket sales cover the cost of the theatre and dressing rooms to hire.
An event like this cannot run without the help of parents, family and friends. All children backstage need taking care of and the show couldn’t go ahead without all the brilliant helpers. We do 2 shows so that helpers can volunteer at one and still get to see their child perform in the other show and don’t miss out.
All performers must be free on Sunday 19th May, Sunday 2nd June (no little ones), Saturday 8th June and Sunday 9th June 2024.
All dancers perform in both shows. Rehearsal times will vary depending on age. We hope that you agree that this is a great opportunity for the children to perform in a fabulous production and enjoy the experience of performing on a professional stage and everything involved. The children gain far more than just the performances; they have great fun backstage, the build up to the show is so exciting and the friendships that are formed are so lovely to see.
As always, the show will be filmed. If you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch by email admin@newelthamdance.co.uk
Little ones who have been notified separately to arrive at 10:30am on Sunday 19 May 2024
Please arrive at 09:00 and stay until 12:00 finish.
All students can wear makeup as the stage lights can wash out their complexion. We
recommend students wear: foundation base, bronzer, coloured eyeshadow, blush and red lipstick.
No jewellery is to be worn including earrings.
We try to keep this as simple as we can:
Wear usual dance shoes as students would as part of their class uniform.
Costumes will be handed out in the lessons before the show, once paid for. They should be taken home, named and hung on a hanger. Costumes should be brought to the theatre on hangers. They can be left at the theatre overnight to the Sunday performance and then are yours to keep.
All students will be required to wear a black NEDS t-shirt or plain black t-shirt for the finale. This should be worn with black shorts/leggings/joggers and trainers/jazz shoes.
All students
should arrive in their own comfortable clothes or NEDS T-shirts/Hoodies and own footwear. Please DO NOT arrive in costume or in dance shoes, they must all be clean for the stage. Please arrive with hair and make-up done (no lipstick yet!) so you are ready for the stage.
Please make sure everything is named so items do not go missing. A labelled box with a lid for personal belongings works well for individuals in dressing rooms. All belongings can be popped away and easily accessed throughout the day.
Something like this is suitable – 25L Silver Plastic Storage Box | Dunelm (smaller boxes may work for smaller children in less dances).
All students will remain in their dressing rooms to have a packed lunch/dinner before the performance at 18:00.
Sunday chaperones will be free to go at the end of the dress rehearsal on Saturday to sit back and enjoy the performance!
ALL STUDENTS and Sunday Chaperones to arrive at 14:00 for a 15:00 performance.
