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. 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.
**What is the plan for little dancers (ages 2-6.5)?
We will connect with you separately via email. Please read to get a head start!
PRE-SHOW/CHECK-IN:
The Showcase will begin at 12pm with an approximately 35 minute ballet piece by our students. There will be a short break after this opening ballet piece which is when your child will check-in at the gym and remain backstage until they perform.
Your dancers are permitted to sit in the audience with a parent for the ballet piece, OR you may arrive/drop off your child at the gym check-in by 12:30pm at the latest. *Ticket requirements below.
SHOWTIME:
At our studio, we have little dancers (ages 2-6.5) exit the stage immediately after they perform. 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 at the front of the stage 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.
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:
At the end of the showcase, any dancers that are sitting in the audience are invited to take part in the final curtain call with their classmates!
