Recital Day Details

All shows take place at the Star Bank Performing Arts Center located inside Zionsville Community High School at 1000 Mulberry Street, Zionsville. Additional maps & parking HERE.
Upon arrival into Zionsville HS, dancers & parents will follow directional signs to the check-in/drop off table where our volunteers will help check in each dancer and escort them back to their chaperone or dressing room. All dancers will meet with their class chaperone backstage. We ask parents not to go past the drop-off desk so that we can keep the congestion and traffic backstage at a minimum. Dancers should arrive with their hair & make-up done. We will have supplies to touch up make-up of littles as needed backstage. 

Ruby & Sapphire Performers:

All dancers in the ruby & sapphire shows will meet backstage in the old auditorium with their chaperone. Once everyone is in attendance, the class will make their way to the upper seats in the main auditorium to watch the show. They will sit with their class and the chaperone. 

Dancers may use the green room to change if they are in more than one dance.

After the finale of the show, dancers will wait backstage in the old auditorium until one parent (please only send one adult backstage) comes to pick them up.

If a dancer is in more than one dance, they should arrive at the earliest call time list for their dance. All dancers are in the finale and must stay to the end of the show.
