General Information
Dress rehearsal is MANDATORY. Without dress rehearsal the dancers
do not know where to go when they arrive, what the layout is, their
positioning on stage, how the recital will run, ect. It is their only chance
to rehearse on stage prior to the recital. Some adjustments are often
made at dress rehearsal.
For pictures and dress rehearsal arrive a few minutes early. Arrive with
your hair and makeup done. And in your first costume. Everyone should
arrive in Ballet costumes for the rehearsal, see picture schedule for which
costume to arrive in.
Turn all electronic devices off or on silent. They are very distracting to
the dancers.
No flash photography while the dancers are dancing when the house lights
are out. This is distracting and blinding for the dancers.
Be sure you label ALL of your belongings (shoes, water bottle, costume,
etc). Label shoes on the inside.
At dress rehearsal you may watch. However please keep movement and
volume done so you don’ t distract those rehearsing.
All the dancers in the class should look the same. If you are unable to
get the hair or makeup done they way it is need ask others in your class
for help.
If you have a special needs person in your party for the recital let your
teacher know by Dress Rehearsal.
Recital is general seating. Please refrain from saving seats before the
door is open. You are on your honor here. If you do save seats don’ t
be surprised if what you placed there goes missing (we won’ t steal
anything but it will be placed in the sound booth for you to pick up)
NO FOOD OR DRINK beyond the hallway.
We are still in need of volunteers. Please check the list on the bulletin
board.
If you have any questions feel free to ask. E-mail is the best way, it
allows me to check my information so I answer your questions correctly.
You may also call 815-440-3465 and leave a message.
For the recital the dancers should enter through the stage left outside
entrance. DO NOT go through the main hallway or auditorium.
For rehearsal please enter through the front doors.
All dancers should arrive 30min prior to the start of the recital.
