Tech
Times vary depending on what group the dancer is in - your time will be listed on your personalized info sheet from dress rehearsal. You can also view call times here.
Arrive 10 minutes before your designated time slot - we have no spare minutes to waste in the schedule
Check-in with Emily Barker, our stage manager - she will be on the stage wearing a headset
Wait on the side of the stage with volunteers until you are called
Parents can watch the dance from the side of the stage
After Tech
Only in 1 dance?
After your tech time ends, find the dressing room to place items down & take a break in the lobby, audience to watch the rest of tech, or go grab a coffee/snacks
In 2 or more dances?
After your first tech time ends, stay near the stage or in the audience until your last dance
Everyone should be back at 11:15! Use the stage door to drop off dancer at dressing room & then leave through stage door to head to the Polk entrance. Doors open for the audience at 12:30.
After Performance
All dancers will be invited on stage for a finale dance
The curtains will close
Dancers will be asked to grab their things from the dressing room with assistance from our volunteers
The parent/caregiver with the MOVE wristband will wait in the auditorium once the curtain has closed. Dancers will head back to the dressing rooms to change back into their street clothes, then be dismissed by dressing rooms. All other guests will be escorted out to the lobby. Dancers will then come back to the stage area to meet you!
