WEEKLY CLASS ATTENDANCE

Dance is a team sport; the greatest success comes when all members work together. Our dedicated teachers work extremely hard preparing students, making it very important for everyone to attend all lessons and rehearsals. In the event that a student needs to miss a class, we kindly request that you notify us in advance through your parent portal. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.

CONCERT REHEARSAL ATTENDANCE

It's important for your child to attend all concert rehearsals. Not only are they a really fun and memorable part of the process, these rehearsals contribute greatly to feeling confident on stage and perform at their best. Your support is crucial for your child's success in dance, and we greatly appreciate it.

If there is any reason why your child will not be able to perform at the concert on the dates and times provided, please let us know so we can make amendments to the class routines involving them and their peers.

We're fortunate to have exceptional dance photographers capturing the moments during our End of Year Concerts. Following the event, you'll have the opportunity to purchase concert images directly from them. You'll receive a link shortly after the event for this purpose.

NAMING BELONGINGS
It’s very important that all of your child’s belongings are clearly labelled. With very close to 600 students at LAUNCH, even with our thorough concert organisation, refined procedures, and dedicated staff, items can occasionally be misplaced. The last thing we want is for shoes or costume pieces to go missing right before a routine - especially if they’re not named.

As outlined in our Terms and Conditions, LAUNCH cannot be held accountable for any lost items. However, our team is always committed to helping locate and return any misplaced belongings. Clear labelling ensures we can do this quickly and effectively.

ITEMS THAT NEED TO BE NAMED:

- Bags

- Uniforms

- Shoes

- Water Bottles

- Stockings/Socks

- Food Containers

- Hair and Make-up supplies

- Any other personal items

JEWELLERY REMOVAL

For safety during our dress rehearsal and concert performance, all jewellry, including earrings, must be removed from performers bodies to avoid hazards, ensure uniformity, and prevent loss. If a piercing cannot be removed, cover it with small bandaids or skin-coloured strapping tape. This aligns with safety standards for team sports, promoting a safe performance environment. Your cooperation is appreciated.

DEVICE COLLECTION

We collect all student’s devices at sign in for the duration of our rehearsals and concert events. Please leave any unnecessary devices at home. First and foremost this is for the privacy and safety of all students during costume changes and secondly to encourage social interaction, presence and bonding in our teams. We also provide colouring in and special visits from movie characters.

Devices are stored safely in the staff room at the venue and returned just prior to sign out. Should you need to contact your child our LAUNCH phone number (07) 55 277 724 is diverted on concert day and our admin email and SMS’s are checked all day. Your children know to come and let us know if they need to speak with you.

Upon emergency, you can seek help from a theatre usher/staff member and they will come and speak to us backstage.

As always, the safety of our dance family is our #1 priority. We appreciate your cooperation and understanding whilst we work quickly and thoroughly to get every performer in and out of our rehearsals and concerts safely. This offers peace of mind and a smooth experience for all involved.

Students from 0 to 15 years of age must have a parent/guardian present at the drop-off/collection point.

We kindly request that students arrive promptly at the allocated rehearsal and concert day times to ensure we can keep to schedule and everyone is calm, confident and ready to go.

No student can be signed out during the concert unless in an emergency. Our full cast is required for the entire show, and no exceptions can be made.

Should sign-in or sign-out times change, LAUNCH will contact you. Unless we send you an SMS the times remain the same.

PRESCHOOL WRISTBANDS

At the sign-in desk for the dress rehearsal and concert performance, each preschooler will receive one or more wristbands. These wristbands will display the child's name, the colour corresponding to their class, and the dance genres they are participating in.

This process has proved remarkably effective in ensuring safety across all areas of the event and in assisting dressing room attendants who are meeting your child for the first time. You are free to remove their wristband once they are returned to you from both the Dress Rehearsal and Concert events.

MEDICAL CONDITIONS

If your child has any Medical Conditions that may require attention whilst in our care or are carrying any medication with them, please notify our supervisors when you sign in.

The studio always buzzes with the infectious energy our students bring when they rehearse together. They take pride in their accomplishments as they showcase their routines, observe other performances, and revel in the joy of dance! The thrill of costumes, creative hairstyles, and lightning-quick costume changes is simply unbeatable.

PURPOSE: This rehearsal is intended for students to become familiar with the concert's running order, get their nerves out, ensure proper spacing in our largest studio, rehearse costume changes, as well as address any costuming issues that may arise.

While our preference is always to hold both the technical rehearsal and concert on weekends, venue availability on at The Star Gold Coast is extremely limited and always booked more than five years in advance. As a result, most local dance studios, including ours, are required to schedule these events on weekdays and weeknights.

This means some students will need to take time off school. We make every effort to minimise this impact by ensuring each age group requires only one day off school across the rehearsal and concert period. These dates are always included in our calendar since January and communicated regularly throughout the year.

PURPOSE: This rehearsal is mandatory for all performers to adhere to the venue's policies. It allows students to become acquainted with the venue, practice on the stage, find out where they stand and which wing they enter and exit through and address any potential issues. Additionally, this rehearsal plays a crucial role in fine-tuning the show's technical elements, such as sound and lighting.

DATE: Tuesday, November 25th, 2025

LOCATION: The Star Gold Coast, Theatre

WEAR: Students must exclusively wear items from the LAUNCH uniform range following the standard uniform guidelines

We appreciate your understanding if you need to wait for your child, as tech rehearsals can sometimes run early or late due to various factors beyond our control, including venue staff and technical requirements. Thank you for your patience and cooperation.

HAIRSTYLING
Performances on stage require hair styling to be very neat and tightly secured with as much hairspray, hair gel/mousse and bobby pins as necessary to ensure it is slick and without whispies. Hair ties must be the same colour as their hair. Front fringes are allowed to be left out if neat. Hair supplies for touch-ups and changes are required to be packed:

1. Brush

2. Spare hair ties (same as hair colour)

FEMALE PERFORMERS:
Two tight, slick, high pigtails with a middle part (must use gel & hairspray). Pigtails must be straight up in line with their ears, just behind where a headband is worn.

Our short-haired superstars are required to use as much hair in their pigtails as reaches the hair tie.

Ready Set Dance branded hair accessories can be sent to wear with their finale costume. Please ensure that they are named.

MALE PERFORMERS:
Neat and off the face

MAKEUP
Optional for female preschool students. We know how exciting it can be for our little ones to wear special stage makeup.

Stage lighting is very bright and performers' facial features can become washed out and less visible to the audience. Makeup helps define and emphasise their features, ensuring they are clearly seen from a distance.

Note: Do not send makeup with the students in their bag. This age group tend to want to “touch up” their make-up all by themselves.

LIGHT MAKE-UP SUGGESTION

- Mascara

- Blush

- Natural-coloured lipstick ie, light pink toned (a smudge-proof liquid lipstick like the Maybelline Superstay range is a good choice)

STOCKINGS/SOCKS

Stockings and/or socks may be necessary for your child's costume. Please note that these are to be provided by the parent or guardian.

FEMALE PERFORMERS

Tan convertible jazz stockings - purchased from LAUNCH ($15.00), Dance Desire in Ashmore or Park Avenue Dancewear In Burleigh

MALE PERFORMERS
Ready Set Dance & Ballet - Black Crew Length Socks
Ready Set Acro - Barefeet

SHOES

Every student's dance shoes must be clearly labeled with their name. Performers are required to wear the appropriate shoes for their respective class while on stage and during every lesson. Additionally, it is imperative that these shoes be maintained in a clean and sound condition to ensure safety.

Purchase all these shoes from LAUNCH Admin at very competitive pricing.

Mini Ballet & 6/u Performance Lyrical students: BALLET BUN

Notes:

- Hair nets are better than bun nets for those with thick, long or textured hair as you are able to wrap them around twice or maybe even three times for extra security.

- Please do not use bun donuts. It is not the correct type of bun for ballet.

Mini Jazz, Tap, Hip Hop, Acrobatics, Song & Dance: HIGH, SLICK, STRAIGHTENED PONYTAIL (No Part)
