Are parents allowed in the dressing room?
No. Parents are not permitted in the dressing room unless there is an emergency. Please respect this request and respect our teachers who will be monitoring the space. Private changing tents are available for all dancers who have costume changes in the gym area. Our staff will fully dismiss adults out of the building if not cleared by Coalesce ahead of time. This is for the safety of all of our dancers.
Can my child bring a snack and/or something to do backstage?
Yes, dancers may pack a labeled disposable water bottle with them and a CLEAN peanut-free snack. If your child would like to bring an activity book, etc. they may. We do not encourage electronics as they could get lost or damaged, so bring at your discretion.
I have a child who cannot change themselves. What should I do?
Please contact us ASAP to figure out a plan. If you are asked to come to the gym, we will require your PA clearances.
Does Coalesce take professional photos of the kids?
No, we will not be taking individual/group photos. Parents are more than welcome to record and photograph at dress rehearsal.
What is the plan for little dancers (ages 2-6.5)?
PRE-SHOW/CHECK-IN:
The Showcase will begin at 12:00pm and open with a 20 minute ballet "Ballet in Bloom". There will be a short pause after this dance so that little ones can get checked in at the gym. Please check in at the gym by 12:30 at the latest. Your child will remain backstage until they perform.
SHOWTIME/DISMISSAL:
Dancers in "Good Ship Lollipop," "Boogie Shoes," "Pizzicata Polka," "Another Opening, Another Show," and "Couldn't Be Better," will perform, then will be picked up FROM THE LOBBY by one parent. Dancers 5 years and under are permitted to sit on a parent's lap (or purchase their own ticket/seat) to watch the remainder of the show.
After your dancer performs, quickly send one parent to the lobby to pick up your dancer. They will remain with you whether you plan to stay for the remainder of the show or head out.
Ticket Requirement:
Dancers over the age of 6 are required to have their own ticket/seat. Please be considerate of those sitting next to or behind you as to not block anyone's view. This is a big day for all of our dancers and we want all of our ticket holders to have a great experience.
CURTAIN CALL:
Any dancers that are sitting in the audience are invited to take part in the final curtain call with their classmates! We will make an announcement after #46 "Astronaut" as a reminder to join us backstage if you dancer wishes. Please bring your child directly to the gym check-in table.
