Picture and Rehearsal Procedures

costumes and being on stage.If your dancer(s) cannot attend the dress rehersal notify the office staff as soon as possible.
* Arrival time - no later than 30 minutes before the start of dress rehearsal and recital times. Please keep dancers with you in the auditorium until announcements are done on rehearsal day and until three dances before their dance.
