No males behind the purple curtain as this is a dressing area. We have adults assigned to stay with each group during the performance.
- Discovery Dancers can be picked up right after their performance and awards on Stage. Discovery dancers are not required to stay until the finale but are welcome to stay if they like to enjoy the performances.
- All other dancers will stay until the finale and can be picked up on stage after we have finished.
