TPAC Stage Door Entrance

Due to circumstances beyond TPAC's control, the typical stage
door entrance to Tennessee Performing Arts Center on
Union Avenue will be closed during dance show season this
year.

The alternative stage door entrance to be used by all dancers
will be on 5th avenue between the loading dock to your left
and the entrance to the Tennessee State Museum to your
right. Please note that 5th avenue is a one way street heading
north. Please adjust your driving/drop-off patterns
accordingly, and be sure to observe all traffic laws. There are
a good number of stairs leading down from the street to the
glass doors of this entrance. Specific needs for our disabled
patrons will be made on a case by case basis.

There will be plenty of signs inside the building once you
have used the temporary stage door entrance. These signs will
lead you and your dancers to the dressing room area of your
respective hall. The enclosed map will help to display these
instructions as they pertain to your event.

We’re terribly sorry for this change, and we thank you in
advance for your cooperation.

We will have maps and printouts at the studio for you to take. Thanks!

Helpful Hints from ShowStoppers

We received an email that was sent to all studios that participate in the ShowStoppers Competitions. We thought it would be helpful to pass this along to the students:

Tricks of Champions
1. Unless you have a major costume malfunction a la Janet Jackson in the Super Bowl, Keep Going!

2. Save the lip synching for driving in the car.

3. Staring matches with the judges don't earn you extra
points. A quick glance won't hurt but keep your focus on the audience, not the panel scoring you.

4. Be happy! Your personality counts for more than you think.

5. Participate in every part of the competition, classes, awards....live in the moment. The team that plays together stays together and it shows on stage!
