they dance. We do not have babysitting services backstage as our parent volunteers also want to see the show
after their child dances. Older children are not allowed to hang out in the dressing rooms if they are finished dancing.

CLASSROOM MOMS
We are looking for Classroom Moms for each performance for ALL Twinkle Stars and Combination Stars classes. Responsibilities include staying with the class at all times, line ups, walking them backstage, and walking them back to the dressing room after their performance. Classroom Moms must stay with the entire class until all children have been picked up. With this, comes the added perk of watching your child from the wings of the stage – the best seat in the house!

We are looking for ushers for all performances. You may volunteer for as little or as many performances as you like. Ushers will be handing out programs and monitoring the entry/exit at either our main or side doors as well as helping with ticketing and intermission.

Theatre Etiquette
As art educators, we feel that it is our responsibility to teach young people the appropriate audience etiquette. This also makes a more enjoyable performance for all audience members. These guidelines make sure our dancers give their best possible performance without distractions.
* Please refrain from talking during dance performances
* Enter and exit only between numbers
* All phones should be turned off or on silent
* All restless or crying infants should be removed from the performance area.
* For the safety of our dancers and integrity of our choreography, no photos or videos are
allowed to be taken.
* Please be kind to our volunteers they are also parents of dancers and just want the best
performance for their children and are helping to make that possible.
