frequently Asked Questions
The list of what classes are performing in what show can be found here: List of Participating Classes & Show Times.
If your dancer is listed to perform in 2 different shows, or a cast that performs twice, they need to be at both shows. Part of the RSVP for those classes was agreeing to be at both shows. This gives dancers more stage time, another chance to wear their fabulous costumes, and another chance to perform the routine they’ve been working so hard on with their friends!
If your dancer is performing in multiple shows, the ticket limit will be an amount of tickets to split between shows how you would like. If you’d like to attend both shows, wonderful! If you only want to watch one, there is space for 1 guardian to stay in the black box with their dancer during the other show.
1 guardian is able to go into the black box with their dancer. We ask that you do not bring the whole family into the black box area as space is limited. No guardians are allowed in the backstage area.
If your dancer is in a combined recital class, no schedule changes are required. Your dancer will learn their routine in class as usual. The combined classes will perform together on stage. Starting in June, your dancer will be able to attend both classes and an extra rehearsal at no extra charge.
