Shall We Dance?

The Rule

There is no dancing in any of the theater aisles at any performances as these areas must be kept clear by security due to fire safety regulations.

Dancing Allowed

Some shows are designated as DANCING ALLOWED.  Patrons are allowed to stand and dance in their seats.

Seated Concerts

At a SEATED CONCERT, the seated patrons’ right to see, supersedes the dancers’ right to dance. If the band says “get up” or the spirit moves you to dance, you may dance in your seat as long as you do not obstruct the view of others who wish to remain seated. If you are standing or dancing and someone behind you complains, we will try to find seats for you in another area if space allows. At a seated concert, please be respectful of your fellow patrons!

Tips on Dancing at Seated Concerts

If you hope to be able to dance at a seated concert, we recommend you purchase seats in the last few rows of ORCHESTRA LEFT (Rows T & U) or ORCHESTRA RIGHT (Rows R & S), in the second row of tables on the Orchestra Platform or in the back of the balcony. Please feel free to call or come into the Cabot during box office hours. We can help you select seats where you won’t bother seated other patrons if you wish to dance.

Seat Maps

We have two different kinds of seat maps for our shows.

Regular Seat Map: This seat map has tables in the viewing platform at the back of the orchestra.

Standing Room Only: This seat map has a Standing Room Only (SRO) area instead of tables. If you purchased tickets to the SRO area, you will have access to the viewing/dancing platform at the back of the orchestra.  This section is Standing Room Only and has no tables or chairs. You must have an SRO ticket to access this area.
