Move the Butte Website:
All show-related information will be available on this Move the Butte website. We kindly ask that you consult this website for any questions before reaching out to directors or choreographers. This website will be regularly updated with key dates, times, and essential details needed for your participation in the show. Additionally, we will send this information via email to ensure you stay informed. Bookmark: www.movethebutte.com
Thank you again for participating in this year’s MTB show. We look forward to gathering with you all at the First Showing and Second Showings. Please reach out to the Move the Butte Directors at movethebutte@gmail.com with any questions.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
We encourage all participants to limit their involvement to no more than four pieces. Please be aware that dancers performing in multiple pieces may need to make quick costume changes between back-to-back pieces. This may require them to miss the beginning or end of a piece to accommodate those changes. Quick changes will not be determined until AFTER the second showing happens in February.
Again, if you are not accepted into a piece or are unable to register for a class you’re interested in, don’t hesitate to reach out. We will do our best to help you find an opportunity to participate or become involved in the production.

*Why The Participation Policy Exists*
Move the Butte is designed as an adult performance environment that provides space for creative exploration, expression, and community among adults. Because we regularly receive far more interest than available performance slots, clear eligibility guidelines help us maintain fairness and consistency for all adult participants.
This policy also ensures an environment that feels comfortable and appropriate for adult artists, while maintaining equity among younger community members who are still completing high school.
We deeply value the enthusiasm and talent of younger dancers in our community, and encourage high school students to stay engaged through the School of Dance programs and other youth performance opportunities until they become eligible for Move the Butte participation.
