SHOW DAY PROCEDURES

As always, the safety of our dance family is our #1 priority. When students arrive at the rehearsal, please meet with your class group and teacher in the theatre seating area. Once their rehearsal is complete and they have had their photo shoot, they are free to leave. They then must be back at the theatre 30 minutes before the concert starts and meet in the dressing rooms backstage where our staff and parent/senior student helpers will tick off their names so we can ensure everyone has arrived.

Students are not permitted to leave the venue while the rehearsal and concert is running. No student is to leave the backstage area during interval, no exceptions.

Only Shore Dance staff and parent/senior student helpers are permitted backstage. We have special helpers to assist students who are performing in more than one dance with costume changes during the concert, leaving parents to be able to enjoy the show from the audience.

Please try not to bring anything valuable, especially electronic devices. We would prefer mobile phones are not to be taken backstage or in the changing areas during the concert. Our studio and the venue will take no responsibility if an item is damaged, misplaced, lost or stolen.

If your child has any Medical Conditions that may require attention whilst in our care or are carrying any medication with them, please notify our supervisors when you arrive. Please arrive with hair and makeup done, dressed in costume if possible.

Students will all go back on the stage for the finale at the end of the concert. When the concert is finished, we will take all of the students backstage to the dressing room. We then ask that ONE parent of caregiver collects them from the dressing room and we will guide you out the back exit to avoid congestion. We will have staff members guiding this process to ensure all students are collected safely and with as little chaos as possible! Please do not ask your child to meet you outside the venue or in the car park as a parent has to be seen for you to pick them up.

Private videography and photography is strictly prohibited as we will have professionals attending on the day to provide these services for us leaving you free to sit back and enjoy the show in the moment!

Explicit language, inappropriate attire, offensive clothing and criminal behaviour will not be tolerated. Consuming alcohol and smoking are not permitted.
