Stage Rehearsals
Why do we do it? The purpose of stage rehearsal is to familiarize dancers with the stage and run through their formations on stage. Dancers need to be comfortable with the big stage and the more time they spend on stage, the more familiar they become with it. This applies from the itty bitty to our strongest dancers. They all need to know where to go, where to stand, what it feels like to do the dance on stage.
BE 10 MINUTES EARLY!!! We are going to be running a VERY strict schedule to make sure your dancer is in and out quickly, safely, and efficiently. Please have your dancer there IN HER SPOT in the audience 10 minutes prior to her posted class stage rehearsal time. Please take in to consideration drive time to the venue, parking, walking her in and getting her situated with her class/teacher… and leave AMPLE time to get her in her seat ready to go!
We will not be able to wait if you are even one minute late!
WEAR REGULAR CLASS ATTIRE. NO RECITAL COSTUMES, QUITE YET!
BRING ALL DANCE SHOES NEEDED!!! Depending on which dances your dancer is doing on stage, she will need to practice in those shoes. If they are in a ballet and a tap dance, we will start with ballet FIRST. Bring tap shoes. LABEL SHOES WITH YOUR DANCER’S NAME IN THEM!!!
DO NOT LEAVE YOUR DANCER WITH ANYTHING EXCEPT HER DANCE SHOES in her dance bag, labeled with her name!!! NO JACKET, NO WATER BOTTLE. It is an extremely short rehearsal and we do not need a lot of extra stuff with them to keep up with.
If your dancer is in multiple dances at stage rehearsal with separate times, please be sure to pick her up after each rehearsal, and then bring her back.
We simply do not have enough staff, at stage rehearsal; to watch a ton of extra children, this is for their safety!
We will have the entrance to the stage marked with pink balloons that you will see from outside. (Just like we do for dress rehearsal and recital.)
Dress Rehearsals
Dress rehearsal is MANDATORY for all dancers participating. This rehearsal is very important and allows students to practice on stage and get familiar with the venue before performance day. This will be a full-dress rehearsal meaning dancers will wear costumes. Please wear hair up in a ballet bun and with appropriate hair accessories. Please wear recital makeup, as well.
ARRIVE BETWEEN 5:00-5:30 (NO LATER THAN 5:30!!!!!!!) WITH HAIR AND MAKEUP DONE!!! ARRIVE IN YOUR FIRST COSTUME AND THE CORRECT TIGHTS ON.
* Wear a button up shirt over your costume or a robe to protect it from getting dirty on the way from home to the stage.
* Check in location will be in the lobby in the AC so you won’t have to stand outside in the heat. Just look for the pink balloons to know exactly where to enter.
