Dress Rehearsal Information:

• Please have on full costume, hair properly done, and stage make up on for dress rehearsal - this is important for proper lighting and uniformity of the class.
• Please wear old tights for dress rehearsal (the same color as the tights provided with the costume).  Often times the tights will get dirty at dress rehearsal.
• Please arrive in costume and ready to dance. If you need to change costumes at dress rehearsal please use the green room to change or the first dressing rooms upstairs.
• Video cameras are permitted in the performance hall during the dress rehearsal.
• During dress rehearsal parents are responsible for their children until the time they are to perform their dances, please keep them in your care. On the day of the show we will have backstage helpers supervising children so parents do not have to.
• Dress rehearsal will run in order of the show, but please do not leave until Miss Lyn dismisses you, as we may run your dances several times. WE KNOW OUR LITTLE DANCERS MIGHT HAVE EARLY BEDTIMES, so we will try to let you leave as early as possible, BUT PLEASE REMEMBER HOW IMPORTANT DRESS REHEARSAL IS FOR THEM!
