FULL REHEARSAL SCHEDULE HERE ON TEAM UP
To search for your dancer's schedule:
Click on the Magnifying Glass on the top right of the page.
Enter your dancer's first and last name and check to be sure the dates are inclusive of August and September.
You can cross-check by searching the name(s) of the role(s) they are in. (Ie: Snow, Marzipan, etc) Click here for Cast List
CLICK ON THE REHEARSAL EVENT to ensure your dancer is needed for each rehearsal. There are some instances where dancers are NOT needed for a specific rehearsal. If your dancer is not needed, it will say so next to their name. If your dancer crosses over from one rehearsal to another, it will list the time they switch.
Gingers and Bumblebees will NOT have rehearsals during the choreography camp. Look for that schedule at a later date.
If there are any schedule changes, you will be notified via email.
If there is any uncertainty about your dancer's schedule, PLEASE send me an email
As a reminder, the Team Up time zone calendar is set to MST, so if you are viewing in another time zone, please consider the time difference.
Please keep in mind your dancer will not necessarily be required to be at all of the rehearsal times; however, your dancer will be expected to attend these rehearsals if scheduled.
Some of the November and December dates and times may be modified depending on final performance dates.
There will be a modified schedule for High School students only on the Friday of Homecoming Week
If an extra rehearsal is needed, you will be given notice at least 1 week in advance
Thanks in advance for staying informed!

Information regarding December Classes at EDS
Elevation Dance Studio tuition covers 32 weeks of instruction during the dance season September - May.
Tuition is divided into nine equal monthly payments, billed August through April, for classes held from September through May.
