1) What is the reporting time for Dancers?
All dancers MUST report before 3.30 pm. We have very strict time constraints and will not be able to finish the show on time, if the dancers do not arrive on time! You might miss your performance all together.
​
2) What if I am running late on Saturday?
It is very inconvenient when dancers keep showing up late!! We respect your time, by starting and finishing the show on time. We expect you to make necessary arrangements and reach on time. The show will start sharp at 4.30 pm.
​
3) Should the dancers come dressed from home?
Dancers should all be completely ready for stage at 3.30 pm, with costumes, jewellery, hair and makeup, everything done. If you need any help with getting ready, please organize to arrive earlier. We have a group photoshoot for dancers, starting 3.30 pm.
​
4) Where do other family members go, after dropping the dancers at 3.30 pm?
The Auditorium will be open for audience at 3.30 pm. Other family members and friends can take a seat inside the Auditorium, once they drop the dancers in the waiting area. We will have a Food and Tea Stall for your convenience, until the show starts at 4.30 pm.
​
5) Itinerary for Saturday
3 - 3.30 pm
Dancers arrive and enter the waiting area (a big open room near the entrance).
Family and friends line up at the entrance, to validate their tickets. (Online tickets are fine, no prints needed).
Once tickets are validated, they can take seat inside the Auditorium. Seats are not numbered, they are on first come first serve basis (good excuse to come on time ;)
3.30 - 4.15 pm
Our Volunteers take Dancer's attendance and bring them groupwise, inside the Auditorium, for the group photo.
After the photo, Dancers will take seat in the designated 'Dancer Seating Area'. Dancers will not be able to seat with their family members. This is for the convenience of taking them backstage and bringing them all back at the same place.
4.30 - Show Starts
5.45 pm - 15 min Break
6 pm - Show resumes
6.45 pm - Awards ceremony
7 pm - Show Concludes

9) Are parents allowed to come backstage, to help kids ?
No, parents are not needed backstage, for any part of the show. Our Volunteers will assist the kids for all their performance needs.
10) Can we leave early, once my child’s performance is done?
NO, all dancers are needed to stay until 7 pm, when the show ends. They all have a last finale performance at 6.45 pm, after which we have awards ceremony.
11) Are we allowed to take pictures and videos of kids on stage?
Yes, you are welcome to take your own pictures and videos. However, I would suggest that you all enjoy the show, as we have hired a professional and will be providing the full video of the performance and photos, at no extra cost!
​
12) Do we return the costumes at the end of the show?
There will be a Box labelled 'your batch location' in the outside Waiting Area. Please drop your costume in a bag with your name on it, before you leave. We request that you neatly pack the costumes before returning, and not just dump them carelessly (it is surprising to see some costumes being returned inside out!). If you do not return the costume straight after the show, you will need organize to drop it to Bridgeman Downs, within a week's time.
13) Is there a dress code for Audience?
We are celebrating Dance styles from different parts of India. We would love if you can come dressed in the traditional outfits from the state you belong to. If you belong to a place outside India, you are welcome to choose any Bollywood Style outfits :)
