COSTUMES & MAKEUP
In the Spring Concert Informational Packet, please refer to pages 10-13 for your costume, hair, and make-up requirements. We've included video and written tutorials on how to apply the correct make-up and how to create a low ballet bun.
Make sure you are safely storing costumes and have all the required accessories, tights, shoes, and undergarments before the show. We strongly recommend putting your name on all your items as well. MPA sells tights, shoes, and nude leotards at the studio for your connivence.

For the safety of the dancers and as a courtesy to the audience members around you, photography and videotaping of any kind during the performance is strictly prohibited. This includes Phones, iPods, iPads and all other devices.
A professional video of the performance will be available for purchase. See page 22 in the Spring Concert Informational Packet for more information. Relive the excitement of your recital with a keepsake video. Mr. Video has you covered with HD Downloads and DVDS. Sit back and enjoy the performance and let Mr. Video professionally capture every moment. Purchase can be made online.
PROGRAM ADVERTISING
MPA will be providing a program guide during the show, and we are giving you the opportunity to advertise in the program. This advertisement will help produce MPA’s wonderful show and sponsor the arts in the Waunakee and surrounding communities. This is a great way to get value from your advertising dollars.
Ads will be for sale starting with a 1/4 page for $50 and gradually increase from there. MPA has cover pages available in color starting at $100. Examples of advertisement sizes for you to choose from is included in the PDF below.
We hope you will help us in making MPA’s Spring Concert of Dance a success. This is a great way to get involved. If you need help creating your ad, all imagery and text must be handed in by April 21st. If you already have a designed ad with no editing needed, these must be handed in by May 5th. All program ad submissions and any questions can be submitted to Jessica at jessica@mpadance.com.
FLOWERS & T-SHIRTS
MPA will be selling Spring Concert T-Shirts with the show logo on the front side and all participating dancer names on the back side. These will be available for pre-order and at the venue the day of the show. Flower bouquets will also be available for pre-order and the day of the show. These items can be purchased separately or as a bundle. There are also other fun dance items for sale to purchase as gifts for your special dancer on their special day!
