The Dance Show Checklist

26th April 2019

So your big show is approaching. You’ve decided on a theme, you’ve booked the venue, you’ve choreographed the routines, you’ve started selling tickets.

But what have your forgotten?

We’ve created a handy free checklist to help you!

We all know how stressful the run up to a show can be, so simply tick off each item on our checklist as you go. That way you can avoid nasty surprises on your big day.

Another document that is really useful is our scene list.

Fill it in and give it to all your chaperones, dressers, crew, even the photographer!

There is a page for each scene, so they can see at a glance who should be on stage, what they should be wearing, what music is playing, etc.
