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!

Parking
We are encouraging families to carpool with other family members as much as possible. Additionally, all staff, volunteers, and students who can drive will be parking behind and on the side of the building to leave as many spots out front as possible for our patrons.
We will have overflow parking at the Public Utilities Building across the street, and will be providing a golf cart for staff to ferry any patrons at the bottom of the hill or across the street.
*We are accustomed to having 200+ patrons attend our SpringBoard shows through the season and feel very confident in our ability to safely accommodate recitals at CenterStage also. We have excellent and trained staff to help park and fit as many patrons as possible in front of the building. With capping our audience at 50% to abide by the current Sumner County Covid precautions, we do not anticipate parking being an issue.
