PART 9: Volunteer Information

 Recital Volunteer Information

Anyone interested in volunteering to help backstage is welcome. A volunteer form is required and is included in this handbook. If you are interested in volunteering, please complete it and give it to the Front Desk by February 1 st. There will be an orientation for all volunteers, and all must abide by the policies set forth by Revolution Dance Center. The recital weekend is a hectic experience; all volunteers must work in a cooperative manner at all times. Our backstage managers work very hard to put an efficient system in place, and we ask that all volunteers rely on their experience and follow their instructions.

All volunteers will receive an identification badge at the dress rehearsal, which must be worn in the theater at all times. Please do not bring guests, including children, with you while you are volunteering.

Back Stage Moms

Back Stage mothers are needed for each Mini, Tot, Kinder, 7-9 and 10-12 year old class to supervise the dancers. Back Stage moms must assure that each child in her care is safe and accounted for. They are responsible for making sure that each child is in the proper costume, has the proper accessories and shoes, and is backstage at the appropriate time. They are also responsible for seeing that all children return to their appointed dressing room after their performance. The number of volunteers needed for each class will be determined by the number and age of students.

If there are too many volunteers for one class, some may be asked to work with children from another class. During their class’ performances, backstage mothers leave the students at the stage with their teacher and may watch the dance from the wings. No other parent, guardian or visitor will be allowed back stage.

PART 10: Recital Memory Book-Program

Each year the Revolution Dance Center publishes an annual Memory Book-Program for the recital. “Well-wisher”, encouragement and commercial ads are available. All students have the opportunity to purchase and sell ads, but participation is not required.
