YOU MUST HAVE THE PERMISSION SLIP AT PICK UP TO PICK UP DANCER.

We ask that only one person go to pick up your dancer aged 12 and under as it will be very crowded.

ESTIMATED PICK-UP TIME AFTER DRESS REHEARSAL: 9:00-10:00 p.m. (This time may vary due to how long the dress rehearsal lasts.) Please be patient as rehearsals can sometimes go outside this schedule time.

*ALL DANCERS MUST take home all costumes, shoes and accessories each day. We suggest you go through them all when you get home and make sure you have everything. e-dance center is not responsible for lost or stolen items. Dancers without costumes/costume pieces will not be permitted on stage. LABEL, LABEL, LABEL ALL COSTUME PIECES, ACCESSORIES AND SHOES!

DANCERS PICK UP AGED 13 AND UP

*After bows are done, we will ask younger dancers aged 12 and under to dismiss in an orderly fashion by dressing room one section at a time. These younger dancers will return to their dressing rooms to gather all their belongings and then be led to the dismissal area by dressing room section one at a time. Once all younger dancers are in their dressing rooms we will then dismiss all dancers from stage aged 13 and up.

Older dancers aged 13+ only are to pick up all their belongings from their dressing room and then exit by going into the auditorium first to greet family and friends and then out to lobby and exit. This way the hallway by the dressing rooms will not be as congested for younger dancers who are being dismissed for pick up.

We suggest talking with your family about a place to meet for pick up in advance. (Example: by the clock in the lobby or by the main doors to the building etc)
