Parent Portal

En Pointe and Just Dance look forward to holding our events this year, in 2026. We are very excited to provide a performing opportunity for your dancers. We also wanted to provide an information page on our website for the parents/guardians. We know you have a lot of questions and we don’t always have the opportunity to reach out to you directly.

We have tried to anticipate a few of your questions.

What should I expect when I first arrive at the event? When you arrive, your dancer must already be dressed for their first entry, with hair done and make-up done, as well. Dancers must arrive no EARLIER than 1 hour before their scheduled time. Please, arrive through the front doors and not the stage door. Natalie will meet you and direct you to your assigned dressing room.

Are parents/guardians allowed in the dressing rooms? No, only the dancers will continue to the dressing rooms. We continue to try to be respectful of one another’s space and try to limit congestion in the dressing rooms.

When will we receive the schedule? The competition schedule will be ready at least 4 weeks before the event. The schedule will be available to the studio owner to communicate to their dance families.
