BACKSTAGE…

The key to a successful show is a smooth operating backstage. There is a lot happening to make sure the ballet has perfect flow which includes props being moved, quick changes, dancers running from side to side and staff movement. for everyone's safety if dancers do not NEED to be backstage, then you need to be in a dressing room. ALL dancers MUST clean up after themselves.

Please remember parents are not allowed backstage. Check in with our staff and dancers will be brought to their dressing rooms. We will have staff/ approved volunteers backstage to assist dancers. If you child has any special accommodations, please let our staff know ahead of time!
