Is my child backstage the entire time?
Yes! All dancers are checked in at the beginning of the show and remain backstage with our SSD staff and a few carefully selected parent volunteers through the entire show. This is for your dancers safety. Dancers will not be released during the show or intermission. All dancers must be signed out at the end of the performance.
We have water, snacks and many things to keep them entertained while they wait to perform. Dancers return to the stage for a final bow at the end of the show.
If you have an extenuating circumstance where your dancers needs to be picked up early, please reach out and we will be happy to help find a solution.
The only exception are our Tiny 2s dancers - families of 2 year olds will receive seperate information for pick-up later.

SSD families get first access to tickets on June 4 (limit 4 tickets max per show/per family) then, tickets go on sale to the public (no ticket limit) on June 11.
