 1) What is the reporting time for Dancers? 

All dancers MUST report before 2:30 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! Dancer might also miss the Photoshoot, which starts at 2.30 pm. ​

​​​​​

3) Where do I buy Tickets for the Show?

Tickets are available here.

Everyone, except the Dancers,  need a ticket. Auditorium Gates open from 3 pm. Online Tickets valid. No prints needed. Seats are not numbered, but on first come first serve basis (good excuse to come on time ;) Please DO NOT sit on marked 'reserved' seats. 

​​

4) What if I am running late?
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 4.00 pm.  

​​​

5) Should the dancers come dressed from home? 

Dancers should all be completely ready for stage at 2:30 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 2.30 pm.

​​

6) Where do other family members go, after dropping the dancers at 2.30 pm?

Auditorium gates open at 3 pm. Family members and friends can sit inside the Auditorium, after getting their tickets scanned at the main door. Until then, we have a big open space outside. There will be Food and Tea/Coffee Van for your convenience, until the show starts at 4.00 pm.

11) 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. 

 

12) 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 6.30 pm, after which we have awards ceremony.

 

13) Are we allowed to take pictures and videos of kids on stage?

Yes, you are welcome to take your own pictures and videos. We will have the front two rows, reserved for 1 family member of the performing dancer. So when your dancer is performing, 1 member of the family can move to the 'Reserved for Family' row, take the video/watch the performance. After your dancer's performance is finished, please return to your earlier seat.

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!

​​​​

14) Do we return the costumes at the end of the show?

No, please neatly pack your costume and bring it to your next class (neatly folded, with dancer's name on the bag) (No need to wash the costume, unless stained)

​

15) Are we allowed to take food inside the Auditorium? 

NO FOOD inside the Auditorium. It is very important that we respect the property we are using. We have previously been fined and banned from venues, due to the audience leaving so much mess in the auditorium. Please help us keep the school premises clean, so to not spoil the respect for our Community. 
 

16) Is there a dress code for Audience? 

No particular dress code for the audience, but being a Bollywood Show, we encourage you to wear Indian outfits. Brighter the better ;)

2) Performance Venue and Parking? 

Venue Address - VPAC, Somerville House, 17 Graham Street, South Brisbane. Also refer to your Whatsapp group for Directions video. ​​
