The trick with stopping flash photography is to somehow let the parents know (be it through something in the program, or an announcement) that flash photography can be dangerous to the dancers. I've seen a dancer startled by a photo flash fall off pointe and injure herself quite badly. Then they're all worried about their little darling getting injured and tend to stop taking flash photos!
