There is also a bus that runs between the Theatre and the town centre.
Who is looking after them back stage
Everyone who will be back stage looking after the students, holds up to date chaperone licences issues by either Kent or Medway councils.
This will be a mix of our Yellow Rose teachers, some of my babyballet teachers as well as my Mum. They will be with the students throughout the day for the rehearsal, photos and show time, ensuring they are safe, happy and to assist any of them with costumes if needed.
Can I take photos/videos during the show?
With new privacy laws which came into effect in 2018, as well as safeguarding all of our students, all photos and videos are strictly prohibited.
You will receive a video download link of the live performance and the opportunity to purchase live photos online a few days after the show.
Where do I collect them after the show?
After the show has finished we will be taking all of the students back to their dressing rooms to collect their shoes and water bottles.
The audience will be allowed out into the foyer/café area and we will sign the children out from the theatre door entrance.
