DRESS REHEARSAL SCHEDULE – PLEASE REVIEW CAREFULLY!!!
STUDENTS MAY BE IN BOTH PERFORMANCES. PLEASE NOTIFY THE STUDIO OF ANY SCHEDULING CONFLICTS PRIOR TO MONDAY, JUNE 12TH.
*DRESS REHEARSALS ARE SET ASIDE FOR BLOCKING, LIGHTS, AND TRANSITIONS. Dress Rehearsals ARE CLOSED FROM VIEWING FOR THE PUBLIC & DANCE FAMILIES*
In order to accommodate all of our guests, not put limits on ticket purchases, and run shorter programs for the majority of our dance families, the shows have been divided into 2 separate programs. Some classes repeat to accommodate day and level selection. We ask that your dancer attend both programs. Families only need to attend the dancers’ primary show. Discounted tickets for the secondary show are offered and detailed below in the ticketing information. In some cases, in regard to parents of multiple children & nonlinear level divides, your child’s primary program may be both. All efforts were done to prevent this; however, it is unavoidable.
