REHEARSAL
Please come in your costume with hair and makeup done, then proceed to the stage where we will run your number several times. If you have another dance, you will change into that costume and repeat the procedure. If you only have one number you may leave after your stage rehearsal or stay and watch. Please arrive at rehearsal on time. We run a tight schedule and wouldn’t want to have you miss out on practicing on the stage-we usually run ahead of schedule. The rehearsal schedule is as follows:

*We could run ahead of schedule so please be prepared to be there 20 minutes early. We also could run behind so please be patient. Thanks!
*If you are doing makeup pictures at rehearsal, you will do pictures 10 minutes before your rehearsal time
*How rehearsal works:
- Wait in auditorium until your dance’s turn
- Line up in hallway outside stage doors when it’s your turn
- Parents can watch in the auditorium!
- Each dance has 10 minutes to run through their dance and get comfortable with the stage. Some classes may be quicker, some may take a few extra minutes, but we try our best to do what’s best for each dance group!
-You do not have to stay for all of rehearsal!
-If you still owe money, have questions, need new tights, lose something, want to register for summer…there will be a table in front of the stage to help you out!
*We usually run ahead of schedule so please be prepared to be there 20 minutes early. Thanks!
*If you are doing makeup pictures at rehearsal, you will do rehearsal and then go take pictures!
