Check In/Dismissal
Only one parent/guardian should be present at check in. Please look for the sign with your dancers class/song. Upon check in, you will receive a card with your dancers name. You must have that card for your dancer to be released to you at anytime, so we encourage you to put it straight into your wallet. (We do this for security purposes so that your dancer is released to the proper person, as their safety is the most important thing to us).
Only moms who are signed up to be stage moms are permitted to sit in the student section. Authorized staff will only be allowed in the student section during the show. This is for security purposes. We allow our dancers in the audience so that they can also enjoy the show. However, we will be keeping them in a separate section so that our stage moms can easily monitor where dancers are at all times and so that classes can move safely and easily when it is their time to go backstage. For security purposes and out of respect for all dancers, students will not be released until check out which will be at the conclusion of the recital. 4-5, 4-6, 6-7, and 7-9 students are to be picked up at the conclusion of the show in the student section. 8-10 & 11-13 students are to be checked out on the stage at the end of the show. 14+ students are to be picked up in their dressing rooms at the conclusion of the show. We appreciate you working with us to keep your children safe.
Backstage
Only Staff, Dancers, and Stage Moms are allowed backstage. No men are allowed backstage at anytime except for those who are on staff, or the dads who are participating in the guys dance (at their specified times).
Costume Changes
Dancers in the Ballet/Tap Combo classes will be changed by their moms at intermission. (If mom is not there or unable to help, another female may be sent back to help. However she must have the dancer's ID card to enter backstage). Stage moms will take the dancers to their dressing rooms backstage before intermission. At intermission, moms will go to the stage door, show their dancer ID Card to security, and proceed to the dressing room marked by your dancer's age group.
Dancers in the 4-5, 4-6, 6-7, 7-9 age groups who TAKE BOTH a combo class and jazz/hip hop will have their moms help them change. Mom’s should leave their seats as soon as their dancer’s song ends and meet the group in the lobby. There they will show their dancer ID card and take their child to change in the lobby restroom (highlighted blue on the map). The mom will then take the dancer to the next class’ section to be seated (if for any reason there is not enough time to return the dancer to the proper section before her next dance, mom should take her to the stage door).
Dancers in the 8-10, 11-13, 14+ age groups will be responsible for their costume changes. Stage moms will direct and assist their coming and going to the dressing rooms and stage.
*Please label all costumes and shoes somewhere on the inside so there are no mix ups.
Pre Dance Students
Each dancer will sit with their family in the audience. 4 Songs before your child's dance you will bring them to the stage door to your left. Please do so during a blackout between dances. Our staff will meet you there and take your dancer backstage to get ready for their dance. Parents will not be allowed backstage. We will return them to you at that same door after their dance.
If you have a child who is very upset and will not go backstage with us, you can keep them with you and try sending them up the stairs to the stage at the time of their dance. If a child is screaming, we will not be able to put them onstage. We are very sorry in advance if this does happen, but it is a distraction to the other dancers and we must keep things calm onstage.
As a reminder we must know that every dancer can stay on their spot in order to put them onstage. This is for safety purposes, as we do not want a dancer falling off the stage. We will have plenty of staff nearby should a child stray from their spot but please reiterate and practice dancing on a spot at home. Their teacher will be onstage with them and we will have staff in the wings should any problems arise onstage.
