does my dancer need a ticket?
Dancers who are performing in the show do not need a ticket. They will be backstage for the duration of the performance and will come onstage at the end for the final curtain call. Only dancers for that particular show are allowed backstage. If you need to pick up your dancer early for any reason, please contact our ticket box office in the lobby.
Dancers are not allowed to come into the theater after their performance to watch the show. They must remain backstage for the duration of the performance.
how do i pick up my dancer after the show?
After the show, please send one female back to the 1500 hallway to pick up your dancer. Be sure to bring the security card given to you at drop off. Dancers will not be permitted to leave without the security card. Please do not bring additional siblings and limit your pick up to one female adult.
Can i take pictures and video my dancers performance?
For the safety of our dancers, flash photography is strictly prohibited during our shows. (Flashes can blind a dancer onstage, and cause them to become dizzy and/or fall.) CDA’s choreography is copy-righted; therefore, video recording during the show is also strictly prohibited. Professional USB recordings can be purchased online or in the lobby at the CDA Box Office.
Failure to follow our photography and videography rules will result in your removal from the theater.
