Dancer Check In/Out

• Check-In: Dancers check in at the stage. Find your sticker(s) and put them on your shirt. After checking in, Kinders will sit with their families in the audience until the show starts. Mini, Junior, Intermediate and Adult dancers can leave coats and shoes with their families or downstairs in the green room. Dancers can then stay in the green room, stand with their families in the lobby/theatre or sit with their groups on the stage. (Parents will be asked to help chaperone in the green room before the show begins.) Dancers should bring their own entertainment while waiting for the show to start.
• Label everything! Ensure your name is on all items, from coats to tap shoes.
• Check-Out: Kinders will return to sit with their families after dancing. Mini and Juniors will be escorted out in small groups at the backstage door of the theatre to find their families. Send one family member to wait along the long wall with the railing (follow the blue signs). Intermediate dancers can arrange with their families where you would like to meet.
• Leaving Early: If you need to leave early, you must make all plans and arrangements before the show begins. This includes organizing personal items, finding and making arrangements with a parent volunteer to assist, and discussing a meeting spot at the backstage door. Dancers should know they are leaving early and know what to do after completing their dances.

Parent Volunteers

• If you would like to be a parent volunteer (help out backstage during the show and run out to watch your dancer from the audience), contact the office at info@elev8danceinc.com
