Theatre Etiquette Tips!
1. Give your dancers a round of applause at the end AND during impressive moments!
Most of us know that it’s tradition to give the performers a round of applause at the end of a dance. And take it from us dancers, the LOUDER the better! One of the most rewarding parts of recital weekend is hearing our younger dancers say, “did you hear how loud they clapped for us?!” as they rush off the stage for the first time.
Another great way to show your support is to applaud during impressive moments that you know your dancer has worked hard to achieve. It will send their dancing hearts through the roof, we promise!
2. No Parents or Audience members backstage.
For the safety of all dancers, no parents or audience members are permitted backstage. Dancers will be checked in at the stage door, and checked out at the end of the show.
3. No video/photography in the theatre.
We know you want to capture the big moments, but we encourage you take lots of photos at Dress Rehearsal instead! There is no photography, or videography permitted during the show as it is very distracting to the performers. Be sure to capture lots of photos of your dancer outside the theatre before and after the performance! (Tag us @coupedanceschool in your posts!)
4. Flowers are the classic post-show gift to make your dancer feel loved and supported!
Recital gifts are a strong tradition in dance. Flowers are the classic post-show gift to make your dancer feel loved and supported! Going out for Ice Cream is also a great option ;)
We are SO excited to see our dancers on stage. Our dancers have been working so hard, and we know your support will mean the world to them. See you there!
