Entry to Auditorium
Please note that as in previous years, we will not allow entry to the auditorium during classes. Once the first dancer in a section is on stage, no further entry will be permitted until the final dancer has danced, apart from a parent/carer/teacher who has been supporting their child to change. Seats will be reserved at the side for this purpose to minimise disruption. Please do not leave the auditorium during sections as this is distracting for the dancer.
