VOLUNTEER BACKSTAGE

Be part of the recital from behind the scenes!

We rely on parent volunteers to help keep our dancers organized, prepared, and ready to perform. There are three ways to help backstage:

CLASS GUARDIANS
For parents of dancers in our recreational or non-competition classes. Class Guardians stay with their child’s class for the entire recital, supervising dancers from check-in through their performance, Finale, and dismissal.
GREEN ROOM GUARDIANS
For parents of dancers on our comp team or dancers performing in 4 or more dances in one show. Green Room Guardians supervise dancers changing in the Green Room and assist with dancer check-in and safe dismissal.
BACKSTAGE DRESSERS
For parents of dancers on our comp team or dancers performing in 4 or more dances in one show. Dressers assist dancers with quick costume changes throughout the performance. They are not assigned to a specific dancer or class and should be prepared to help wherever needed.
