IMPORTANT!!!Backstage Drop-Off/Pick-Up Procedures for Dance Concert for Parents of Young Children and Youth Dancers (10 & under) We are committed to making sure your children remain safe during the performance and throughout the drop-off and pick-up process. Please read the information below carefully. We thank you in advance for your cooperation. IF YOUR DANCER (10 & UNDER) IS IN THE FIRST HALF OF THE SHOW*: BEFORE THE SHOW… You and your dancer should report to the designated check-in/out area (follow the signs) 30 minutes before show time. Pick up the name tag with your child’s name on it. This will be like a claim ticket so we can ensure each dancer leaves with the same adult who brought them. Leave your dancer with the check-in volunteers to be taken backstage. To minimize chaos and keep dancers safe, only dancers, chaperones, and staff will be permitted inside the dressing room. No one else will be allowed past the check-in area.
AT INTERMISSION… You (or the adult with the name tag) should line up back at the same designated check-in area to claim the dancer. DO NOT go inside the dressing room or backstage areas. Please have the rest of the family wait at another spot so the check-in/out area does not become too crowded. You and your dancer may go and enjoy the second half of the show! Dancers will be released in costume. Please don’t tell your dancer to change backstage before coming out, this slows down the check out process. Either plan to bring a cover-up to go over the costume or have them change with you after being checked out.
IF YOUR DANCER (10 & UNDER) IS IN THE SECOND HALF OF THE SHOW*... BEFORE THE SHOW… You and your dancer should report to the designated check-in/out area (follow the signs). Pick up the name tag with your child’s name on it. This will be like a claim ticket so we can ensure that each dancer leaves with the same adult who brought them. Your dancer may then join you in the audience for the first half of the performance.

To minimize chaos and keep dancers safe, only dancers, chaperones, and staff will be permitted inside the dressing room and backstage areas. No one else will be allowed past the check-in area.
AT THE END OF THE SHOW… You (or the adult with the name tag) should line up at the check-in/out area to claim the dancer. DO NOT go into the dressing room or backstage area.
