Questions
Common questions from directors
Absolutely. Groups traveling to Tuacahn in St. George drive in themselves, and we arrange the hotel, workshops, performances and meals around them.
Every group is different, so we plan costumes, props and equipment trip by trip with each director.
Meals can be on your own, planned as team meals, or covered by a meal allowance loaded onto a card we provide for each traveler.
Chaperone spots can be built into the per dancer price. You choose how many to cover during planning, and families are never asked to fund them separately.
Every trip is fully custom, so we quote each piece from multiple suppliers and give you one total price per traveler for the trip you design.
