Are You Stressed About Spring Recitals?

Today, we begin the first of seven spring recitals that will span through June 7th!

For me, spring recitals are the most exciting time of the year – teachers and students have worked hard to present a product that will showcase their work. We begin planning spring recitals immediately after each year’s event, so we have 11 solid months of planning. Once the immediate recital season arrives, most of the work is finished!

For some, I know it can be a stressful period. And, even if the midst of joy and celebration, stressful moments occur- like the time our balloon drop pull wasn’t pulled out at intermission or an upset child that will not calm or a parent that feels exceptionally frazzled. Know that the stressful moments happen, but, more often than that, use the following tips to create a happy, exciting, and positive event!

1. Set the tone: Your mood and leadership will set the tone for the event- keep it positive and fun!

2. Be prepared and organized: Allow yourself plenty of time to be as organized and prepared as possible.

3. Delegate: Manage and assign tasks to every piece of the puzzle. This will result in a smooth operation.

4. Communicate: Let people know every detail of what to expect, multiple times. This includes students, parents, staff, and backstage volunteers.

5. Have support: Rely on your immediate support team for ideas and strategies.

6. Do not procrastinate: Recital is the not the time to procrastinate – finish everything with plenty of time to spare.

7. Be flexible: When everything does not go as planned, be flexible.

8. Be calm: Even when dealing with difficult situations and problems, remain calm and diplomatic. Isolate and address the problem and move on.

9. Take care of yourself: Don’t forget to include some rest and relaxation (when you can)!

10. Have fun: Think of the children you are inspiring and the memories they are making. Produce an amazing event that will continue cultivating their love of dance for years to come!
