SHOWCASE FAQ's
What time do I arrive at Showcase?
Dancers: 9:30AM for the first show / 1:30PM for the second show (FEMALE drop off only)
Parents: Doors to the auditorium open 45min prior to the start
What dressing room are we in?
Ages 4-9 : Small Gym
Ages 10-12 : Choir Room
Ages 13+ : Band Room
Can I stay backstage with my dancer?
No, all dancers are dropped off backstage and have 1-2 "Room Mom" volunteers assigned
to each group. Parents will watch the show from the audience and pick up when complete.
What should I send my dancer with for backstage?
Costumes/shoes first + foremost. Books, stuffed animals, coloring (crayons only), games, puzzles, etc. No slime, markers/paint, or expensive technology. Snacks - crackers, pretzels, water, nothing messy. Put their name on everything!
My dancer is really shy/uncomfortable about changing backstage?
No worries! A great tip to make changing easy is to purchase a tan/nude camisole leotard to wear under their costume. Be sure to purchase one that will not show underneath (look for one with clear straps). Remind them the folks helping change are also Moms :)
We have another event that day, can I pick them up before the Show is over?
No, for the safety of all dancers they must remain in the dressing rooms until the completion. Anyone attempting to retrieve early will be denied and notified to security.
How long is the Show?
Approximately 2 hours, the 2:00pm show is a little longer as we do Senior tributes.
If we are in both shows, what do we do in between?
You are welcome to leave and grab lunch or we recommend packing one, there is a cafeteria right off the lobby to eat.
Can I buy tickets at the door?
They are only available online (not sold at the door) and can be purchased up to 3PM on Sunday.
What if I need help on Showcase Day?
Krista + Lisa (our office staff) are in the lobby and happy to help with anything you need!
Any advice for new dance parents/first show?
Enjoy this special moment in their life. Don't stress, there is a solution to everything. The calmer you are, the calmer they are. Be early - leave time for hair, makeup, parking, settling into the dressing room. Bring extra tights! :)
