Dress Rehearsal
Show 1 Thurs, May 30th

The dress rehearsal is the final rehearsal of a live show shortly before the show. It is a rehearsal conducted as if it were a live performance to ensure perfection for the actual show. Dancers are to arrive completely stage ready at the designated arrival times.
When arriving, enter through the designated performer door. Parents will sign the child in and then head towards the theater.
BACKSTAGE MOMS should arrive 30 minutes early to assist with dancers.
-
Mom and Me - Kin I dancers are to wear a cover up over the costume. The dancer is to be dropped off stage ready (Change shoes before dropping off). Parents hold on to the street shoes.
-
NO EARRINGS, JEWELRY, OR GUM. The tights act as proper undergarment. Unless a pull up is required.
-
Dancers in more than one routine must bring the extra costume(s), shoes, tights or prop. It's advised to label everything!!! We suggest placing extra costume(s) in a garment bag labeled.
-
Costumes must be wrinkle free. DO NOT IRON! To get any wrinkles out put in a steamy shower.
