Dance Recital Etiquette

• Please only enter the auditorium seating area between performances and take your seat quickly and quietly before the next routine starts. 

• Turn off or silence all of your devices prior to the start of the show.  The sounds and screens are very disruptive!

• Photo-taking and video recordings are not permitted so that everyone can enjoy the live performance!

• Think Before You Speak– Unless you are speaking positively about something or someone, don’t say it. You may think that your whisper is only heard by the person next to you but it’s heard by everyone around you.

• It is courteous to applaud after each routine in the recital, but please avoid shouting or screaming during a dance performance as it can be distracting to both the dancers on stage and to other audience members.

• If you have a baby or young child who is sitting with you and they become disruptive, please exit with them quickly and quietly between routines.

• Refrain from talking or whispering with other audience members while the dancers are performing.  Quick comments in between routines are OK!

• There is no food or drink permitted in the auditorium but may be enjoyed in the lobby.
