Day-Of Details:
Parents can drop their student off at our check-in station in the lobby. From there, each child can be escorted by their parent or a CS staff person to their assigned dressing room.
We will have CS staff and instructors checking each student in to their classrooms, and additional instructors in each classroom to monitor each level and make sure they are prepared for their next dance. Due to limited space in our class rooms, we ask that parents not be back stage during the recital.
With multiple recitals, our shows are relatively short. We ask that students not bring additional toys or snacks, only water in with a cap allowed backstage.
During the show, please feel comfortable to remain in your seats. We will make sure that each student is changed and prepared for their next dance so that you can sit back, relax, and enjoy!

Any families or friends not able to attend are encouraged to watch recital live on Facebook for free.
