Parents, relatives, and friends will not be allowed in the auditorium during rehearsals.

• Please inform whoever will be taking your dancer to the rehearsal to avoid misunderstanding.

• The dress rehearsal is also used as a technical rehearsal for the backstage crew and it must be completely quiet in the auditorium.

During dress rehearsal only, parents may bring young students to the dressing area and wait while they rehearse.

• You may take your student home immediately after they finish their last dance.

If your child is in more than one routine in the show, you can drop them off for their first rehearsal time and pick them up 15 minutes after their last rehearsal time.

• In between, the dancer can sit in the audience and watch.

For the dress rehearsals, performers should come dressed in costume to Stratham Cooperative School and follow the signs to the dressing area.

• Dancers in multiple routines should dress in the costume they are wearing first and bring the others on hangers. Please, bring a bathrobe or an oversized shirt on the day of the recital. Men's oversized button-down shirts are ideal for covering up costumes without messing up hairstyles.

• Dances will rehearse out of show order to give our youngest dancers the earlier rehearsal times.

• During dress rehearsals, we try to stick to the time schedule.  Sometimes due to technical problems, we may run over the allotted time.  We've been known to run ahead of schedule.  Therefore, it is imperative to be dressed and ready to perform at your allotted time.

ALL DANCERS MUST ATTEND DRESS REHEARSAL IN ORDER TO PERFORM IN THE SHOW.
