Can you believe that Show Week is just around the corner? It seems like just yesterday that your child started classes this season at The Little Gym. In order to make Show Week a wonderful experience for everyone involved, we have a few tips for you:
1. Bring your camera and/or video camera. You may take pictures/video during the performances. Please be courteous to other photographers.
2. Please refrain from sitting on any of the Gym equipment (the kids may need to use it)! If you are bringing other small children to the show, please keep them restrained and make sure that they do not play on the equipment.
3. Seating: Past experience has indicated that the Dance Shows fill up quickly. If you want to get a seat, we recommend that you arrive at least 15 minutes prior to the show you are coming to see. For shows in the gym, let us know if an older relative needs a chair from the lobby.
4. Expectations during the performance: For Birds and Beasts – remember that they may do nothing, so please do not set up grand expectations for your guests. At The Little Gym, we do our best to encourage the kids, but we have to expect the unexpected.
For older kids: You may see your child really “ham” it up or be super silly. So, just be open-minded during the show. As your child progresses through the stations, you and your family members will travel with them. Please let the teachers do the teaching and refrain from coaching from the sidelines. We are celebrating all aspects of growth, not just the physical part, so it is more important to remember that they are building their confidence and performing. We want to keep the whole experience very positive.
5. Flowers: We will be presenting all children with a medal, so don’t feel like other gifts are necessary. If you want to present your child with flowers, that’s fine. Please, however, make your presentation privately – not while your child is on the podium receiving her medal. We ask this out of respect for the other children so they do not feel left out.
THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR HELP, AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING ALL OF YOU DURING SHOW WEEK!
