STAGE DIMENSIONS

• approximately 29’ deep x 40’ wide

LOADING DOCK

• There is a loading dock behind the theatre which can be accessed off Laurier Street. Unfortunately, this is not a parking area – and once you have finished loading/unloading, please move your truck.

PARKING

• Pay parking is available at the Museum of Civilization from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., Wednesday through Sunday.
• There is additional parking on the streets around the Museum. Check for posted hours and rates.

PROPS

• Please ensure you have adequate staff to prep your props for easy load-in and load-off the stage.  Heavy items should be on dollies to avoid scratching the dance floor.  Props can be pre-assembled in the loading dock and then wheeled onto the stage.  We want to keep to our time-schedule so dancers are dancing as scheduled.

Thank you everyone for your combined efforts as we know this takes a lot of time and coordination!!

DRESSING ROOMS

• All dressing rooms will be assigned based on the room availability at the Museum.
• The Boys dressing room and ‘Quick Changes’ room will be backstage.
• To avoid congestion:
  • Have hair/make-up done.
  • please vacate when the room is not needed.
• Parents -- please pack-up all belongings from changerooms if you are leaving after the awards to make room the incoming dancers.

We thank you in advance for your cooperation with regard to sharing the space.

SHINE SHOP

• Our Shine Shop will be in full operation to get your Shine Dance Merchandise.  Please note that we will be accepting only credit or debit cards -- we will not be accepting cash.

REHEARSAL AREA

• Dancers may practice in the hallways outside the Ateliers (as long as no school programs are in progress) and outside the Theatre.

*NOTE: the Museum has a ‘shoe policy’ whereby dancers must wear shoes when walking between the changerooms and the Theatre. This is done for the dancers’ safety and we appreciate your cooperation.
