How to enjoy a CDDS production to the fullest!

  1. Arrive early- Our shows start on time.  Late arrivals will not be allowed in to the audience until the ushers determine an appropriate time. Allow time for traffic, inclement weather, parking, bathroom stops, picking up Celebrate Your Dancer items, finding your seat, etc. Have a plan for your entire party to have their own tickets.
  2. Everyone on stage is someone’s child and their family and friends are excited to see them perform.  Stay seated for the entire show as it is disruptive to leave during the show.  The shows are short and entertaining...sit back, relax and enjoy!
  3. Keep cell phones/devices and cameras away during the entire performance.  Avoid ushers having to ask you to put your device away and causing an audience disruption. 

NO PHOTO/VIDEO POLICY

There are absolutely NO photos or videos permitted by audience members during the show.
Notify any family members attending the show regarding this policy.  It is extremely distracting to the dancers and other guests in the theater if an usher has to address a situation and interrupt the show. Miss Carolyn will stop the show if this policy is broken.
