Please notify the directors as soon as possible of any conflicts or expected absences.  Thank you, and we are looking forward to working together!

 

Rehearsing a ballet is quite different than rehearsing a recital.  There will be times that individuals need to be present, but may have long breaks between their own dancing or acting.  Having everyone present is critical to the success of the show.  Please prepare your dancer for some “waiting” time.  It is recommended that younger dancers have books or other quiet activities and snacks for days on which they have breaks during rehearsal. 

Please keep in mind that additional time will be scheduled if we feel that extra  rehearsal is needed.  Dec. 1 is a required, extended rehearsal from 10 am to 5 pm.
 
Dances or roles which do not appear on the schedule will be set with individual dancers.

Reminder:  Dancers are not permitted to miss more than 2 scheduled rehearsals.  No one may miss the Dec. 1 or Dec. 8 rehearsals!

You are responsible for knowing the Acts and Scenes in which your roles appear.  We have provided the table at the bottom of this page to help you.  If your Act or Scene is listed in the rehearsal schedule, you should plan to attend unless otherwise noted.
