• Center seating (when configured): If available, center sections typically provide balanced sightlines for choreography and stage movement across the full performance area.
• Perimeter or riser seating (when configured): When raised or angled seating is set, these spots can offer a clear perspective on formations and patterns without losing intimacy.
