We are so excited to have so many dads participating in the recital dad dance this year! Thank you for being a part of these wonderful memories. We want this to be a wonderful experience for everyone. So, if you have any questions please don’t hesitate to call or email.
Dad dance rehearsals are scheduled by your dancer’s last name. We provide dads with two ways to learn:
In-Person: You need to attend a minimum of 2 in-person rehearsals.
Recorded: We will have practice videos recorded and loaded to this Dropbox folder after our first rehearsal. Please practice at home!
Rehearsals are split up by age groups. If you have more than one dancer, please look for your name on the list twice. The first rehearsal is for dads only! We will be teaching a lot of the dance to you before bringing the kids. Dads whose kids are performing in multiple shows have been assigned one show to perform in. Dads who have multiple kids are encouraged to perform with a different daughter at each show. If both kids are in the same show, you are welcome to perform with both kids at the same time.
Tickets for recital go on sale May 1 at 8am. Dads in the dad dance will need to purchase a ticket to the show so they can sit with their family in the audience. https://www.dancetoexpress.com/tickets

PERFORMANCES ON JUNE 8TH AT WEBER STATE, AUSTAD AUDITORIUM
Find your dancer’s name in the cast list to see what recital show you’re performing in.
WHAT TO WEAR:
Dads should wear the black recital shirt provided in your dancer’s costume bag with a pair of jeans and clean tennis shoes.
BEFORE THE SHOW STARTS:
We will have a Stage Rehearsal- 30 minutes before your performance time. This rehearsal is MANDATORY. If you are not in attendance, you will not perform.
Arrive at check in with your dancer 10 minutes before your dancer’s arrival time and head to the stage to practice.
Leave your dancer with their class backstage and head to your seat before the recital starts. Take their Ziplock bag with their dad dance costume (gray recital shirt, black shorts or leggings, and underwear if they plan to remove their tights) with you to your seat.
DURING THE SHOW:
After your dancer performs, exit the auditorium, and go through dancer check in to find your dancer. You should have their Ziploc bag with you.
Help them change into their dad dance costume.
Dads will be the final dance of the show. They’ll stay on stage and be the first group to bow in the finale.
After the curtain closes, stay with your dancer and exit through the check-out hallway. Make sure to pick up their class costume and their trophy.
