  • Consider attending a weekday performance for a potentially less crowded experience and a more intimate view of the dancers.
  • Dress comfortably but festive; while there's no strict dress code, many patrons enjoy dressing up for this special occasion.
  • Check the Emerald Ballet Academy website for any specific COVID-19 protocols or recommendations before your visit.
