We are planning on having an OUTDOOR performance for our recital this year. It will be held at one of these locations:
- The parking lot of the Evergreen Park Community High School Sports Facility at 2700 W 91st Street, Evergreen Park, IL.
- "50 Acre Park" (right across the street from the EPCHS Sports Facility)
Whether you park at the Sports Facility or 50 Acre Park, walking will be a relatively short distance.
Each class will perform their dance in front of an audience for immediate family members of that class only. Your child’s class will be the only one performing at that time, and you will only be watching your child’s class performance. We are doing this to minimize the crowd size.
In case of inclement weather, we will perform INSIDE of the Evergreen Park Community High School Sports Facility. It has a massive, open space that we will use. We will follow the State of Illinois Phase 4 COVID mandates, IHSA guidelines, and the requirements of the EPCHS Sports Facility.
If we are unable to meet in person due to restrictions and/or safety concerns for our students, staff, and families, our performance will be held VIRTUALLY. There is additional information about this in the information below.
We are excitedly planning for these outdoor mini performances and praying for good weather and positive health conditions. Regardless of which plan we use, each class will showcase its dance. It will be professionally recorded and the videos will be pieced together so we have a very special, unique showcase of “Hello, Broadway!”
REHEARSAL/PERFORMANCE SCHEDULE
We will follow a similar schedule that we used when our classes were on Zoom. Please note that the classes highlighted in yellow have a different meeting time than the original schedule. Also, all advanced levels 2 and 3 in ballet, modern, and jazz will meet on Friday, July 31 from 4:00-7:00 p.m. These classes will receive a separate email.

CHOREOGRAPHY
Please have your child practice the choreography several times a day. The choreography can be accessed through the PERFORMANCE tab of our website.
LOCATION
All families should park at the Evergreen Park Community High School Sports Facility at 2700 W 91st Street, Evergreen Park (former Evergreen Park Racquet and Fitness Club) OR the 50 Acre Park on 91st Street right across from the EPCHS Sports Facility. We will perform OUTSIDE at the pavilion in the park OR in the EPCHS parking lot, depending on logistics. If there is inclement weather, we will be INSIDE the EPCHS Sports Facility in an open, massive space. The rehearsal/performance will be held within short walking distance of either parking lot.
Due to weather and other unforeseen variables, the exact location of where we will gather to rehearse/perform will be texted/emailed prior to the rehearsal/performance. Please check your texts and/or emails, including junk/spam files.
DATES FOR REHEARSAL/PERFORMANCE
Students will have one class time for dress rehearsal and one class time for the performance:
- Week 1 (week of August 3-8) Dress Rehearsal — Dress rehearsal during class time similar to 2020 Recital Rehearsal/Performance schedule (schedule attached). Students should wear their costume.
- Week 2 (week of August 10-15) Performance — Students will meet to perform their dances in their costume during their regularly scheduled class time per the 2020 Recital Rehearsal/Performance schedule (schedule attached).
NOTE: Advanced upper levels 2 and 3 for ballet, jazz, and modern will be meeting Friday, July 31 from 4:00-7:00. Their rehearsal will take place from 4:00-6:15. The performance will begin around 6:15. These students will NOT be meeting the weeks of August 3 and 10. They will receive a separate email with specific information. However, the following information pertains to these students also.
Depending on local COVID statistics, plans are subject to change, but we are fairly certain of this plan.
INCLEMENT WEATHER
In case of inclement weather or other unforeseen variables, we will be inside the EPCHS Sports Facility in their indoor tennis courts. The size of the open space is four indoor tennis courts. We will comply with the State of Illinois and the rules of indoor group participation according to the IHSA, which requires masks and temperature checks for all indoor activities held at school facilities. Safety of our students and family is a priority.
VIRTUAL PERFORMANCE
If you do not want your child to participate in person but would like him/her to be included in the recital video, your child can perform remotely. Please take a video using your phone or another recording device. Use a tripod or prop it up so it is still. Your child’s head and feet should be within the frame. We prefer a plain wall in the background. Please email the video by August 15 to [email protected]. Portions of your video will be imposed within the class performance. Our videographer will create a memorable video of Hello, Broadway! He has been doing this for many Chicagoland dance studios.
SEATING
All families are asked to sit in a group distanced from other families. We will have limited number of chairs available, so you may bring your own lawn chair or blanket for your family.
Each set of chairs shall be spaced out for each family.
All students in pre levels (Pre-Ballet 1, 2, 3, Hip Hop Minis, Pre-Jazz/Hip Hop) will enter and exit the stage from their family seating area
