ARRIVAL TIME
IMPORTANT
Show nights - dancers enter using the stage door, parents/carers exit the same way to return
to the front door. No-one should be in the theatre before 6.30pm.
ONCE IN THE THEATRE - PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE A SPARE SEAT BESIDE YOU
THE PERSON NEXT TO YOU. THIS CAUSES MAJOR PROBLEMS.
ALL CHILDREN SITTING ON A SEAT MUST HAVE A TICKET.
END OF SHOWW Tiny Tots & Starlite parents/carers remain in the theatre, your children will be brought there
1st Steps - Gd I Parents/carers collect your child from the dressing room but inform the
dresser on the door before you leave the room
Bronze - Senior groups will be allowed to meet parents at the stage door.
All of this may take a little time but it is done for your childs safety.

Hair should be worn up and off the face in 2 french plaits at the back of the head. Use only

will be able to do it for you (1st come, 1st served). Please arrive at the hall with hair properly
brushed through & wet (but not washed, otherwise it will be too soft to plait). Bring your own
