Virtual Recital Package/Recital Costume Information
•Your Virtual Recital package will include a Recital T-shirt, a digital download of Virtual Recital, and a physical Virtual Recital DVD that will be mailed to you this Summer.
•The Virtual Recital Package will be $50 ($22 for the t-shirt and $28 for the production of Virtual Recital+your physical DVD).
•We have been able to work with our costume vendor and will be able to issue refunds for your costumes.
•For your convenience, we will simply subtract your Virtual Recital Package from your Recital Costume payment, meaning no extra cost for you.
•We expect to begin processing Recital Costume Refunds that will include payments for pre-paid tights and preordered t-shirts the week of May 18. We have a lot of refunds to process, so we appreciate your patience.
T-Shirts
•All t-shirts will be available for pick up on May 26, 27, and 28 at The Dance Centre.
•The system for picking up t-shirts will be: Call The Dance Centre at (606) 620-7507 when you arrive, let me know your name and I’ll bring your shirt out to your car.
Filming Deadline
•Film your dancer performing over our regularly scheduled Recital Weekend, May 29, 30, and 31!
•All video submissions should be turned in to me by Monday, June 1 at 3 p.m.
Filming Tips
•In order to make a virtual recital work we need your help with filming your child.
•Do your best to find a blank, open wall or backdrop to film your dancer in front of.
•Film your dancer in the landscape orientation (sideways, not up and down).
•Film your dancer’s entire body.
•Play with the height of your camera and the angle to make sure they fit fully in the frame. If you are having trouble getting your dancer’s entire body, we suggest lowering your camera height.
•Your dancer should stay in the frame as they dance. Please stay stationary and do not pan or follow your dancer around with the camera. (Propping your phone up with something like a water bottle or using a tri-pod is a great way to make sure your camera stays stable and your video is not shaky.
•You can find edited Recital Music via the Recital Music Link
•Your dancer may feel most comfortable dancing with their teacher…and that’s OK! Set up your laptop or another device playing your child’s recital dance (found in the Recital Dances Link), and film them dancing with your phone. (Just make sure to only film your dancer).
Curtain Call
•Curtain Call is one of my favorite parts of Recital…so I want us to have a Virtual Curtain Call as well!
•Please film your dancer smiling, waving, and showing off their best curtsy or bow, and send that to me as well. This clip only needs to be 5-10 seconds long.
Video Submissions
•You are welcome to email video submissions to lindsay@dancecentreky,net however most videos may be too large.
•If your video is too large, please share your videos with me on Google Drive. Upload your videos to Google Drive and then share them to lindsay@dancecentreky.net.
•Please film each dance your dancer is in separately and submit a separate video file for each dance.
When to expect the Virtual Recital Digital Download?
•I will begin the production process as soon as possible on June 1. I hope to have the Virtual Recital Digital Download to you by July 1, with physical DVDs shipping out later in July.
Questions
•I know this is a lot to process, and this is very different from any Recital we have ever produced, so it is okay to have questions.
•View our latest Virtual Recital Zoom Q and A Recording here.
•Please, also feel free to email me at lindsay@dancecentreky.net with any questions you may have.
I couldn’t be more proud of our students this year, and I am thrilled to have the chance to celebrate them and their hard work both this year, and throughout the many years some of our dancers have been with us at The Dance Centre.
To all of our students, from the bottom of my heart, I give you the biggest round of applause.
Ms. Lindsay
