Video
We are pleased to announce that DanceBUG (DRC Video Productions) will be professionally video recording our annual recital in its entirety. DanceBUG will distribute your media online at DanceBUG.com and you will receive the access code from the studio if you purchase the recital media.
DanceBUG.com is a private, secure place where each family can create an account and from year to year keep their dance recital library. You can watch on any internet-enabled device: smartphones, iPad, tablet, Smart TV or Roku.
To see how DanceBUG looks from a guardian account, go to DanceBUG.com and use the username "sally" and password "12345". You'll see how a recital would be edited and how it would look if you purchase recital media.
If you would like to purchase the video, please fill out the order form in the Recital Handbook. The cost is $35.00 per family; cash or check payment only. After payment is received and the show is filmed, edited and up online, they will generate a 5-digit code for PE to distribute to our families who purchased recital media. You will then log in or create an account if they don't already have one and enter the code to unlock the show.

Costume Care
It is important that you take care of your costume(s) leading up to the pictures and the show! Here are some tips:
- When handling the costume, please be sure that your hands and your child’s hands are clean. Also, do not consume food/drink while in their costume, unless they are wearing a cover up over it. Costumes should be clean, neat and stain free.
- Although your costumes come in plastic bags, it is a good idea to place them on a hanger until traveling to let the wrinkles naturally relax. If there are still wrinkles in the costume, DO NOT IRON them! Steaming is much safer, or you can place them on a hanger in the bathroom and run a hot shower for several minutes to get the room steamy.
- If your costume has a tutu, fluff the tutu the week before! Pull apart all layers of tulle or mesh for a fuller look.
- Please be sure that you have all of the correct pieces, accessories, shoes and tights for each dance your child is in. We suggest writing your child’s name on the tags of the costumes/shoes/etc.
- Lastly, please be sure to apply make-up and do hair BEFORE putting on the costume.
Check In & Out
- Students in Act 1 should meet at the backstage area/holding area 5-10 minutes before the start of the show. Students in Act 2 should meet at the backstage area/holding area immediately after the Senior Slideshow.
- If dancers are in multiple dances in Act 1 or Act 2, they should return to the backstage area/holding area immediately after changing.
- ALL younger dancers MUST BE picked up by a parent/guardian at the backstage area after they perform.
JUST DANCE
We produce a fabulous end-of-year Recital for all Power Explosion dancers. This is such an exciting way to end the dance season!
