Who runs this recital planner
A planner that orders the routines of a dance recital so that no dancer is left without time to change costume. A single independent developer makes it; no dance studio, music school or theatre is involved.
What the planner does
Studio owners usually solve a running order on a kitchen table with index cards. The planner takes the routines and who dances in each, searches for an order that gives every dancer room to change, and shows what it could not fix and why. It prints the program, the backstage running order and each family's list. Dancer names stay in your browser.
Where the numbers in the guides come from
Worked examples are the planner's own solver run over an invented sample recital of 15 routines and 20 dancers, so a figure such as the 11 quick changes in the sample's typed order is counted by the solver. The comparison of other scheduling tools is the exception: there, every price or feature claim links to the product's own page and notes the date that page was checked.
Credit
The guides go out as Showorder and carry nobody's personal name. In their page markup, the author is the Showorder organization. No teacher, studio owner or stage manager is credited. When a guide shows a date, that is the last day its wording was edited.
Also by this developer
Cheersheet lays out eight-count sheets against a cheer mix, Cuedrill drills stage management cue calling, Gradereel preflights music exam videos, and Scorerdesk trains volleyball scorers. Their common maker gives none of them a say in recital orders.
What this site cannot do
It cannot run your show. The order it proposes rests on what you typed about who is in which routine: a dancer left off a routine is a quick change it will never see, and a costume that takes longer than the gap allows is something it cannot know. Read the order yourself before it goes to print.
It is not a ticketing, registration or studio management system, it sends nothing to anyone, and it caps a show at 400 routines. To see the reasoning, read how an order with no quick changes is built and how far apart a dancer's numbers should sit, or every guide.
