Ticket Information

Extra Ticket Form
Next week we will release a form for families who have extra tickets they are not using.

• Tickets are nonrefundable but fully transferable

• Please do NOT post tickets on social media public selling groups due to high scam risks

• The form will close 1 hour before each show so unused tickets can be offered to families who need them

Volunteers:

If you are volunteering for a show, you do NOT need a ticket for that performance. Volunteers should plan to wear dark clothing as you may be backstage or moving dancers between the office and backstage.

Performance Photography

We are excited to share that Jozef Raiche will be photographing the performances. He will have photos available for purchase after the show. We’ll share details on how to view and order images once they are ready.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Hair & Appearance

How should my daughter’s hair be done?
All dancers must wear a classical ballet bun with a hairnet and hairspray—no flyaways. We call this “potato chip hair.”

What color shoes and tights are required?
All dancers wear ballet pink shoes and ballet pink tights.

Rehearsal Expectations

How long does my dancer need to stay for rehearsal?
We release dancers as quickly as possible once their dances are complete.
We always start with curtain call, so dancers may leave once their portion is finished and they have been formally dismissed.
