What’s a Room Mom and How do I become one?  

Can I be a “Room Dad”?


Volunteers are a vital part of the Recital process.  As our dancers are majority female ranging ages 3-18, we utilize the gym as our dressing room and only allow females into this area.  There will be security on site to ensure that only females enter the gym.  The gym also serves as our holding room for dancers, thus men cannot volunteer to become a “Room Dad.”  Room Moms are responsible for helping the dancers stay calm backstage, helping assist in putting tap shoes on in the hallway, walking dancers to the stage area, and taking dancers back to the dressing room for parent pick up.  


You can become a Room Mom by signing up for your dancer’s class via e-mail/link through the Sign-Up Genius sent out by Encore Studio.  We will need Room Moms for both Dress Rehearsal and all Recital performances.  Room Moms can watch their dancer in the wings of the stage and then escort dancers back to the dressing room area.  As a Room Mom, one is required to stay backstage until the entire class is collected by a parent.  Our gentlemen dancers will be held with one of our Recital volunteers in the allocated men’s dressing room/backstage area.
