Will you be selling observer passes?
We are anticipating a full event, meaning there will not be extra space in the studios for parent observers. Parents of younger dancers who wish to stick around during the event may have a seat in the lobby, from which you will have a clear view of the studios. We just ask that you avoid crowding around the lobby windows.
