Question 1

Photos and Videos

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately, photographing and video-recording of the performances is not allowed.

Question 2

Cell Phones

Accepted Answer

Please remember to silence your cell phones and other electronic devices.
Please refrain from referencing these devices during the show. A lit screen nearby is distracting to surrounding guests.

Question 3

Talking

Accepted Answer

Please refrain from talking during the show. Save that idea until intermission or just after the performance.

Question 4

Applause

Accepted Answer

Feel free to applaud throughout the performance when the dancers perform beautifully. Dancers are encouraged upon hearing your reactions.
It's also a welcomed response for the audience to laugh at the humorous parts in a ballet.

Question 5

Dancing During Performance

Accepted Answer

There should be no dancing on the sides or in the back of the theatre during the performances. We know the little ones get very excited and want to emulate the dancers on stage. But, the theatres are dark and dangerous, and this activity distracts other guests from enjoying the performance.

Question 6

Stage

Accepted Answer

We know the little ones like to practice their dancing on the stage, or stand up there for cute pictures. But the venues have a strict rule about no guests on the stage at anytime. This is for the safety of all guests.

Question 7

Decorations and Centerpieces

Accepted Answer

The decorations and centerpieces are there for all to enjoy. Unfortunately, we cannot offer them as door prizes and they are not available to take home as a souvenir.
