You Are Not Alone, You Made a Commitment

If you think that when you miss a class or do not attend dress rehearsals that you are not affecting anyone but yourself – YOU ARE WRONG. In fact, you actually hurt your fellow dancers, not the teacher. Although you all have different motives for dancing, when committing to a recital, the end result should be your goal. Most dancers want their dance to be the one that is remembered and talked about by all. It takes a team of dancers to achieve this goal. Please be considerate of your fellow dancers and attend your classes regularly, practice your dance, and put the rehearsal schedule dates, in the below link, on your calendar.

Required Rehearsals

All rehearsals are held at CM Performing Arts Center in Oakdale. All students must be checked in backstage 15 minutes prior to their scheduled time. Latecomers will miss their photo and stage time.  Unfortunately, we must keep to the schedule and cannot hold to wait for anyone to arrive. ARRIVE AT DRESS REHEARSAL FULLY DRESSED IN COSTUME WITH MAKE-UP AND HAIR DONE.

Guest Limit at Dress Rehearsals

Please understand that the purpose of Dress Rehearsals are for the dancers to get used to performing on a stage rather than a classroom, to review spacing, as the stage is much bigger compared to the classrooms, for our scenic designer to see how the scenery looks on stage with dancers, the lighting designer to program lighting cues, the sound designer to figure out music and microphone levels, and the stage manager to choreograph set changes.  Because the rehearsals during recital week are dress rehearsals, rather than performances, we must limit audience size to 2 adults and 2 siblings per family.  

Class and Individual Photos will be taken at Dress Rehearsal
