BACKSTAGE GUIDELINES
To make sure keep our dancers safe and our venue clean, please review our backstage guidelines listed below.
DROP-OFF & PICK-UP
DANCER DROP-OFF INFORMATION:
BACKSTAGE VOLUNTEERS may bring THEIR dancer (and their dancer only) with them to Backstage Volunteer Check-in on the left side of the theater through the black gate.
Dancers who are not accompanying a Backstage Volunteer will check-in on the backside (right) of the theater at the Performer Check-in door.
At Dancer Check-in, your dancer will receive a wrist band with their name on it and the person dropping them off will receive a notecard with their dancer's name on it. We ask that you KEEP this notecard safe as we will require it to be handed back to ALDA staff when dancer's are released back to parents after the show.
Please plan to arrive early as it will take ALDA staff a few minutes to check every dancer in.
DANCER PICK-UP INFORMATION:
Dancer pick-up will take place on the left side of the theater at the black gate (the same location as Backstage Volunteer Check-In before the show). Please allow time for ALDA staff to release all dancers, as we will ensure each dancer is released to their designated guardian and that dancer notecards are returned to staff.

FOOD & DRINK
To maintain a clean, safe, and efficient backstage environment, no food, drinks, or toys are permitted backstage. Please ensure your dancer has eaten breakfast and used the restroom before being checked in.
ALDA Staff will have emergency water and snacks available if a genuine need arises. Otherwise, personal items such as Stanleys, Yetis, water bottles, snacks, and toys are not allowed backstage and will be discarded if brought. To avoid this, we strongly recommend not sending these items with your dancer at all.
Rest assured, your dancer will only be backstage for a short period of time, and our ALDA Staff is fully prepared with appropriate activities and entertainment to keep them comfortable and engaged.
