This will help ensure that our Club families can watch their dancers’ performance without the risk of the show selling out.

How do I handle having my dancer in multiple classes?

- Finding what shows my dancer’s other classes are in
  - Please refer to the show lineup as to which dance is performed first for your dancer. Your dancer should arrive in their first costume and have the rest of their costumes labeled & hung up. Please label EVERY piece of their costume and each shoe. Bring a laundry basket to help costume pieces and shoes stay together as dancers change.
  - You will not need to come backstage to help your dancer. We have a team of trained staff who are experts at getting your dancer on stage looking polished and refreshed. You get to sit back and enjoy the show!
