Should I buy my dancer a "FINALE" ticket?
No, you don't have to buy your dancer a ticket. We buy the balcony for our dancers and have amazing parent volunteers who take care of the children during the show. Yes, they will take them to the bathroom if needed and touch up lipstick or hair before they dance (if you leave lipstick and hairspray out and easily available for them to do so!)
Do parents need to come backstage to help their dancer during the show?
No, you do not need to come backstage to change your dancer if he/she has multiple numbers in a show. Just make sure everything is ready, labelled and organized for our great Moms who help in the change rooms!
You can speak directly to them with specific instructions for each number - please have the costume check lists attached to each costume.
How will I know who is a volunteer?
Volunteers wear easily identifiable black Tri-City Dance Centre volunteer shirts and generally have name tags on too! They are all experienced moms of our dancers or older dancers.

Finale Theatre Etiquette?
Please familiarize yourself and all who will be attending the show with you on basic theatre etiquette. No food or drink (other than water) is permitted in the theatre. Please TURN OFF and PUT AWAY all cell phones. The light is extremely distracting to both the audience around you as well as the dancers on stage.

All dances are copyrighted and it is illegal to videotape or photograph without prior written permission. Please alert Massey Theatre Staff if you see anyone videotaping the performance. We appreciate your understanding of this important theatre rule. Please do not leave your seat or the theatre during a number. Wait until the number is over before exiting or entering the theatre.
