Important information on . . .
Dear Parents,
Welcome to Studio 5.6.7.8’s 32nd Annual Recital!
Since 1992, Studio 5.6.7.8 has been creating outstanding recitals for our community to enjoy. We are thrilled to celebrate our students and all their accomplishments with a year-end performance on stage.
In order for our production come together with excellence and ease, we have created this web page to provide information that you will need, as well as what to expect from us and what is expected of you over the next few months.
If you have ever been involved in a production of any kind, you know that there are an incredible number of things that must come together before it gets in front of an audience. Your child’s commitment to attending classes and rehearsals on time and prepared will be vital to the success of our shows. Please keep this recital link handy so you can refer to it throughout the next few months.
On behalf of the faculty of Studio 5.6.7.8 I would like to thank the students for their hard work and dedication and to the parents for providing the opportunity for your child to experience the most wonderful gift in the world… DANCE!
Here’s to three great recitals!
Caroline McLaughlin
Studio 5.6.7.8 Artistic Director

Dress Rehearsal is a very important part of a successful on stage experience! Here are a few reasons why it is mandatory that every dancer is present for Rehearsal:
Please be sure your dancer arrives on time in full hair and makeup, already dressed in their first costume.
Dancers will enter the building through the Darling Street entrance with 1 parent to sign in.
Little Leapers & Kinder Leapers may have 1 parent remain with them in the auditorium during their rehearsal.
There are no spectators in the auditorium for all other classes. The studio administration staff will have all parent contact info on hand should it be needed.
Volunteers and staff members assigned to help younger dancers with any costume and hair changes.
At the end of your child’s rehearsal session, dancers will be dismissed from the auditorium and escorted back to the dressing room with volunteers and staff, where their parent will need to sign them out for pick-up.

Picture Days will be held at the studio on the following dates…
Comp & Performance Teams – Saturday May 4th (3 pm start)
Recreational classes – Sunday May 5th (10 am start)
A schedule of specific times will be available 2-3 weeks before Picture Day.
Dancers are to wear their full recital attire, including costume, performance tights, and performance hairstyles. Makeup for Picture Day is optional.
When involved in an on-stage performance, dancers wear makeup as part of their performance attire. Stage lights make dancers look very washed out, therefore makeup is used to accentuate their features.
The following is a list of uniform stage makeup.
Uniform performance hairstyles are as follows:
Acro, Aerial Hoop, Jazz, Hip Hop, Lyrical, Musical Theatre, Tap classes – Low ponytail, middle part.
All Ballet classes – Low bun, middle part.
Little Leapers & Kinder Leapers – High ponytail, curled.
NOTE: If the costume includes a hat, headband or any hair accessory, please ensure that it is secured tightly to the dancer’s head with bobby pins.
We spend many hours determining the right costumes for each class. They are always age appropriate and of the highest quality possible. In an effort to ensure the costumes are delivered in time for studio photographs and an organized distribution to our students, costume orders were placed in February. Costume manufacturers do not accept cancellations or offer refunds; therefore the studio does not refund costume payments.
Costume Distribution
There will be two costume distribution weeks at the studio this April.
Monday April 8th to Saturday April 13th, and Monday April 22nd to Saturday April 27th.
Please check your costume invoice (sent via email) to confirm which date your costume will be sent home with your dancer. Parents, please come to the patio for pick-up.
Costumes will only be distributed when accounts are paid in full. Please ensure your child’s costume(s) are paid in full before the due date on your costume invoice.
Alterations
Although rare, if alterations are needed, the student’s parent/guardian is responsible for the alterations. Any alterations required are typically very small. For example, a strap needing tightened or pants needing hemmed.
Costume Care
To ensure there are no costume problems, students should not wear their costumes, accessories or tights prior to Picture Day, Dress Rehearsal, or performance. We recommend that your child’s name be placed in all costumes, shoes, accessories and tights.
Each costume will be sent home in a labelled garment bag. If your child dances in more than 1 class, you must bring the other costume(s) to the theatre in the labelled garment bag provided. This will ensure our staff and volunteers are able to keep all costume pieces organized when assisting with costume changes.
Tights
Tights are an important part of our Dress Code at Studio 5.6.7.8. Students are required to wear the following tights for the performance:
Ballet: Ballerina pink full foot tights
Jazz, Tap, Hip Hop & Musical Theatre: Beige or skin tone full foot or convertible tights
Acro, Aerial Hoop & Lyrical: Beige or skin tone stirrup, footless, or convertible tights
Little Leapers & Kinder Leapers: Beige or skin tone stirrup, footless, or convertible tights
Beige & pink tights are available to purchase at the studio. Tights are also available at “Starburst Dancewear”, located at 1175 Wilson Street East, Ancaster. Please purchase new tights for the recital, and do not wear them before the rehearsal or recital.
Note: Having an extra pair of tights offers students and parents a great sense of security should one pair get a run or a spill on it.
Shoes
Students are required to have the following shoes for their routines:
Girls
Ballet: Pink Ballet slippers
Tap: Pre Tap & Junior Tap – Beige tap shoes. Pre Teen & Teen Tap – Black tap shoes.

Saturday June 8th Morning – Sign in at 10:15 am, show begins at 11 am
Saturday June 8th Afternoon – Sign in at 3:15 pm, show begins at 4 pm
On Recital day, dancers are to arrive at the Sanderson Centre through the Darling Street entrance. There will be a line to sign your dancer in before taking your seat in the auditorium.
Please be sure your child arrives already dressed in their costume. Parents must sign in their dancer in, then proceed directly to the auditorium. If your child has more than one costume, you will be directed to the dressing room to place their belongings before taking your seat in the auditorium.
Backstage
We run a very organized event and have strict protocols that help us have a successful recital.
Family members or friends will not be permitted backstage or in the dressing room during Dress Rehearsal and Recital day. The same applies during intermission and after the show. There is a lot of backstage activity and the dressing rooms are a private area.
If you have purchased a ticket for your child and they will be watching the show in the audience, please notify us at sign in. Dancers are to remain seated in the audience to watch the show and report backstage 4 numbers before they are scheduled to perform. 1 family member ONLY is to accompany the dancer to the backstage sign in table.
That same person must come back to pick up their child after their performance and return to the audience to enjoy the rest of the show. Dancers will not be released from the dressing room to anyone without permission from the parent or guardian.
All dancers are supervised by studio staff and volunteers. The volunteers ensure each child in their care is safe and accounted for. They are responsible for making sure each child is in their proper costume and brings them backstage at the appropriate time. They are also responsible for seeing that the children return to the rehearsal hall after their performance.
Please remind your family and guests to be respectful of the backstage and change room areas. Those who wish to greet a performer after the show may do so in the lobby area.
Rehearsal Hall
The rehearsal hall will be set up as both changeroom space as well as the “on deck” waiting area for the dancers while they are waiting to perform.
Upstairs Change Rooms
The change rooms located on the upper level of the Sanderson Centre is the designated change room for the competitive dancers and a few other selected classes. Upon arrival, if your child has more than one costume, you will be directed to a changeroom where you can place your belongings.
1. Why is Rehearsal so important?
Rehearsal is important for many reasons. This is our chance to set lighting, sound, stage set-up etc. Most importantly, it gives the dancers an opportunity to practice their routine on stage so that it doesn’t feel completely unfamiliar on show day. Dress Rehearsal is a vital part of the performance process.
2. Can parents watch Dress Rehearsal?
Little Leapers and Kinder Leapers classes may have 1 parent remain with them during rehearsal. There are no spectators during rehearsal for all other classes. This limits distractions so the dancers are able to give us their full attention. Dancers will be seated in the auditorium during rehearsal, which gives them an opportunity to observe the other routines.
3. Do I need a ticket for my dancer?
If your child would like to watch any portion of the show in the audience, you will need to purchase them their own ticket. The Sanderson Centre does not allow children to sit on laps.
Dancers are not required to watch in the audience. They can remain in the changeroom area with staff and volunteers for the duration of the show. However, if they choose to watch the show, you must purchase them a ticket.
4. Will my child be supervised in the change room?
Absolutely! There will be supervision at all times. The recital is also simultaneously broadcast on a TV monitor in the rehearsal hall for the dancers to watch. They will be “on deck” as the theatre saying goes, waiting for their turn to perform.
5. Can I take videos of the show?
No. The use of any type of recording device in the auditorium is in violation of patent and copyright laws. The theatre and Studio 5•6•7•8 can be at risk of copyright violation and fined a substantial fee. A professional video production company has been hired to record the show. We will email a link to all the families, to order a recital DVD if you choose.
6. Can I take pictures?
For the safety of the dancers no flash photography is allowed. Pictures of your child on stage may be taken during the finale, presentations and at the end of the show.
7. How many tickets can I buy?
On the first day of ticket sales, each family may purchase a maximum of six ( 6 ) tickets. This is enforced to ensure that all families are given equal opportunity to purchase tickets for their child’s show. After the first day of ticket sales, there will be no further limits enforced. Tickets will go on sale at the Sanderson Centre on May 11th. Ticket prices are $15.00 for both adults and children.
Our shows have always run very smoothly. It takes much planning and organization to put on an event like this. If we all work together, we can have another successful and spectacular show!
Yours in Dance,
Caroline McLaughlin
Studio 5•6•7•8 Inc. Director
We have 3 Recitals with 3 different lineups. Each class will perform their routine once. Keep reading to see which recital(s) your child’s class(es) will perform in.

Picture Days will be held at the studio on the following dates…
Comp & Performance Teams – Saturday May 4th
Recreational classes – Sunday May 5th
Dancers are to wear their full recital attire, including costume, performance tights, and performance hairstyles. Makeup for Picture Day is optional.
Photo order information is available at the following link: https://www.fredsphoto.on.ca/downloads/Prepaid_order_form_2024.pdf
When involved in an on-stage performance, dancers wear makeup as part of their performance attire. Stage lights make dancers look very washed out, therefore makeup is used to accentuate their features.
The following is a list of uniform stage makeup.
Uniform performance hairstyles are as follows:
Acro, Aerial Hoop, Jazz, Hip Hop, Lyrical, Musical Theatre, Tap classes – Low ponytail, middle part.
All Ballet classes – Low bun, middle part.
Little Leapers & Kinder Leapers – High ponytail, curled.
NOTE: If the costume includes a hat, headband or any hair accessory, please ensure that it is secured tightly to the dancer’s head with bobby pins.
We spend many hours determining the right costumes for each class. They are always age appropriate and of the highest quality possible. In an effort to ensure the costumes are delivered in time for studio photographs and an organized distribution to our students, costume orders were placed in February. Costume manufacturers do not accept cancellations or offer refunds; therefore the studio does not refund costume payments.
Costume Distribution
There will be two costume distribution weeks at the studio this April.
Monday April 8th to Saturday April 13th, and Monday April 22nd to Saturday April 27th.
Please check your costume invoice (sent via email) to confirm which date your costume will be sent home with your dancer. Parents, please come to the patio for pick-up.
Costumes will only be distributed when accounts are paid in full. Please ensure your child’s costume(s) are paid in full before the due date on your costume invoice.
Alterations
Although rare, if alterations are needed, the student’s parent/guardian is responsible for the alterations. Any alterations required are typically very small. For example, a strap needing tightened or pants needing hemmed.
Costume Care
To ensure there are no costume problems, students should not wear their costumes, accessories or tights prior to Picture Day, Dress Rehearsal, or performance. We recommend that your child’s name be placed in all costumes, shoes, accessories and tights.
Each costume will be sent home in a labelled garment bag. If your child dances in more than 1 class, you must bring the other costume(s) to the theatre in the labelled garment bag provided. This will ensure our staff and volunteers are able to keep all costume pieces organized when assisting with costume changes.
Tights
Tights are an important part of our Dress Code at Studio 5.6.7.8. Students are required to wear the following tights for the performance:
Ballet: Ballerina pink full foot tights
Jazz, Tap, Hip Hop & Musical Theatre: Beige or skin tone full foot or convertible tights
Acro, Aerial Hoop & Lyrical: Beige or skin tone stirrup, footless, or convertible tights
Little Leapers & Kinder Leapers: Beige or skin tone stirrup, footless, or convertible tights
Beige & pink tights are available to purchase at the studio. Tights are also available at “Starburst Dancewear”, located at 1175 Wilson Street East, Ancaster. Please purchase new tights for the recital, and do not wear them before the rehearsal or recital.
Note: Having an extra pair of tights offers students and parents a great sense of security should one pair get a run or a spill on it.

Ballet: Pink Ballet slippers
Tap: Pre Tap & Junior Tap – Beige tap shoes. Pre Teen & Teen Tap – Black tap shoes.

Friday June 7th – Sign in at 5:15 pm, show begins at 6 pm
Saturday June 8th Morning – Sign in at 10:15 am, show begins at 11 am
Saturday June 8th Afternoon – Sign in at 3:15 pm, show begins at 4 pm
On Recital day, dancers are to arrive at the Sanderson Centre through the Darling Street entrance. There will be a line to sign your dancer in before taking your seat in the auditorium.
Please be sure your child arrives already dressed in their costume. If your child has more than one costume, you will be directed to the dressing room to place their belongings before taking your seat in the auditorium.
Backstage
We run a very organized event and have strict protocols that help us have a successful recital.
Family members or friends will not be permitted backstage or in the dressing room during Dress Rehearsal and Recital day. The same applies during intermission and after the show. There is a lot of backstage activity and the dressing rooms are a private area.
If you have purchased a ticket for your child and they will be watching the show in the audience, you do not need to sign your dancer in. Dancers are to remain seated in the audience to watch the show and report backstage 4 numbers before they are scheduled to perform. 1 family member ONLY is to accompany the dancer to the backstage sign in table.
That same person must come back to pick up their child after their performance and return to the audience to enjoy the rest of the show. Dancers will not be released from the dressing room to anyone without permission from the parent or guardian.
All dancers are supervised by studio staff and volunteers. The volunteers ensure each child in their care is safe and accounted for. They are responsible for making sure each child is in their proper costume and brings them backstage at the appropriate time. They are also responsible for seeing that the children return to the rehearsal hall after their performance.
Please remind your family and guests to be respectful of the backstage and change room areas. Those who wish to greet a performer after the show may do so in the lobby area.
Rehearsal Hall
The rehearsal hall will be set up as both changeroom space as well as the “on deck” waiting area for the dancers while they are waiting to perform.
Upstairs Change Rooms
The change rooms located on the upper level of the Sanderson Centre is the designated change room for the competitive dancers and a few other selected classes. Upon arrival, if your child has more than one costume, you will be directed to a changeroom where you can place your belongings.
1. Why is Rehearsal so important?
Rehearsal is important for many reasons. This is our chance to set lighting, sound, stage set-up etc. Most importantly, it gives the dancers an opportunity to practice their routine on stage so that it doesn’t feel completely unfamiliar on show day. Dress Rehearsal is a vital part of the performance process.
2. Can parents watch Dress Rehearsal?
Little Leapers and Kinder Leapers classes may have 1 parent remain with them during rehearsal. There are no spectators during rehearsal for all other classes. This limits distractions so the dancers are able to give us their full attention. Dancers will be seated in the auditorium during rehearsal, which gives them an opportunity to observe the other routines.
3. Do I need a ticket for my dancer?
If your child would like to watch any portion of the show in the audience, you will need to purchase them their own ticket. The Sanderson Centre does not allow children to sit on laps.
Dancers are not required to watch in the audience. They can remain in the changeroom area with staff and volunteers for the duration of the show. However, if they choose to watch the show, you must purchase them a ticket.
4. Will my child be supervised in the change room?
Absolutely! There will be supervision at all times. The recital is also simultaneously broadcast on a TV monitor in the rehearsal hall for the dancers to watch. They will be “on deck” as the theatre saying goes, waiting for their turn to perform.
5. Can I take videos of the show?
No. The use of any type of recording device in the auditorium is in violation of patent and copyright laws. The theatre and Studio 5•6•7•8 can be at risk of copyright violation and fined a substantial fee. A professional video production company has been hired to record the show. We will email a link to all the families, to order a recital DVD if you choose.
6. Can I take pictures?
For the safety of the dancers no flash photography is allowed. Pictures of your child on stage may be taken during the finale, presentations and at the end of the show.
7. How many tickets can I buy?
On the first day of ticket sales, each family may purchase a maximum of six ( 6 ) tickets. This is enforced to ensure that all families are given equal opportunity to purchase tickets for their child’s show. After the first day of ticket sales, there will be no further limits enforced. Tickets will go on sale at the Sanderson Centre on May 11th. Ticket prices are $15.00 for both adults and children.
Our shows have always run very smoothly. It takes much planning and organization to put on an event like this. If we all work together, we can have another successful and spectacular show!
Yours in Dance,
Caroline McLaughlin
Studio 5•6•7•8 Inc. Director
