We want everyone to enjoy their magical experience at the ballet. We encourage you to use the following guidelines as a teaching tool for good behavior at the performance.
No late seating: Please arrive early to allow time for parking and entering the theater. Once the performance has begun, we will not interrupt the performance by opening the doors to the seating area.
No food or drink may be brought into the theatre: No outside food or drink is allowed in the theater.
No electronic or recording devices of any kind:
All performance elements are protected by copyright, taking photographs or making a recording of any kind is prohibited by law.
Please Note: The dancers use a red light at the back of the theater to help them turn. They focus on this light (called “spotting”) to help keep them from getting dizzy. A camera flash, cell phone light or video light could confuse the dancers and possibly cause them to fall and get injured.
Stay in your seat: Once the performance has begun, no child is allowed in the lobby without an adult.
Please note: you will not be allowed back into the seating area of the theater if you leave your seat. Patrons will be allowed to return to their seats at the intermission or when the performance has ended.
No talking: We would like everyone to appreciate the performance and not be distracted.
Applause: Show your appreciation with thunderous applause. Do not scream. If you wish to express your enthusiasm with words, it is appropriate to yell “Brava!” for the ballerina and “Bravo!” for the male dancer.
No throwing of objects of any kind: It is distracting to your fellow audience members and especially to the dancers on stage.
Adults are requested to remove disruptive children: Students may be asked to leave the theater for inappropriate behavior. Please keep your feet off of the seat in front of you.
Turn off your cell phones and ENJOY THE SHOW!
