2. Tech Rehearsal
Tech rehearsal will happen in three groups. Your call time and group is listed in this spreadsheet. Once a dancer arrives, they will remain at the venue through the performance and will be supervised at all times by DMA staff.
9:30am, Group 1 arrives for tech rehearsal. Group 1 will have down time in between tech rehearsal and dress rehearsal during which they can complete their makeup. Or, they may arrive with makeup already completed. This is a break time to eat.
11:15am, Group 2 arrives for tech rehearsal. Group 2 will have down time in between tech rehearsal and dress rehearsal during which they can complete their makeup. Or, they may arrive with makeup already completed. This is break time to eat and do provided activities like coloring and playing games.
12:15pm, Group 3 arrives for tech rehearsal. Group 3 must have their stage makeup already applied when they arrive.
12:45 Group 4 arrives for tech rehearsal. Group 3 must have their stage makeup already applied when they arrive.
3. Dress Rehearsal
2:15-4pm. This functions just like the show. Dancers will be in costume and full hair and stage makeup for this.
4. Performance
5:30pm. Show will end before 7:30pm.
5. After the Show/Departure
All dancers will be released to a parent/guardian after returning their rental costume. (Since dancers arrive in the dress code clothes, they should have regular clothing on top of that, that they can change back into after the show.)
The dancer check-out process is as follows:
Dancers will be picked up by ONE ADULT from the same room they were dropped off at. The hallway will get crowded so please plan for an additional 15 mins after the show before you are able to depart.
You will not be able to take a picture of your dancer in costume after the show. Please plan ahead! Take photos in costume at home before you leave, or you can arrive early to take a photo of them in costume in front of the step and repeat in the lobby. There is also the professional photoshoot at the Glenview Studio on Sat Dec 6th.
