All junior classes, ITP C classes, and ETAP D classes are in Recital B. All tween/teen, ITP A/B, and ETAP A/B/C classes are in Recital C.

Does my dancer need a ticket?Dancers do not need tickets for the show they are performing in. They will watch from the backstage dressing rooms while family and friends enjoy the show from the audience. If they would like to watch one of the other shows, however, they will need a ticket for their seat in the auditorium.
-
Do I need to attend both days of performances?All dancers must perform twice; once on Saturday and once on Sunday. It is extremely important that all are there to dance with their group, as they are a vital part of their routine! Parents are not required to attend both performances. If you are not watching the performance, you can drop them off at check in and return to pick them up at dismissal after the show.
-
What do I do if I have children in different shows?If you have multiple dancers in different shows or your child is in two shows, you will need tickets for each performance.
