Family Requirements/Obligations
The family is responsible to have dancers at all rehearsals and performances. Additionally, it is required that all participating families volunteer for small jobs that help with the production, ex: ticket takers, dressing room assistance, childcare for the pre-ballet & primary classes, backstage prop handlers, advertising, etc. Our volunteers are a very important part of putting together our show!
Additional Fees
For Academy Track dancers, there is a $100 performance fee that includes one costume rental. Any additional costumes will be $50 each. For Company Track dancers, the performance and costume rental fees are included in your regular tuition.
All dancers will need to buy a nude leotard, tights, and shoes for the performance, use their own makeup, and have proper hair pins, nets, and spray.
Rehearsals
Rehearsal time will vary depending on the role(s) the dancer is cast in. Regular rehearsals will be on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. Some rehearsals will take place during regular class time. For younger dancers, all rehearsals outside of show week will be during their regular class time.
Dancers who are absent for Saturday rehearsals without prior discussion may be subject to a $25 fine per absence. Dancers who miss two or more rehearsals will be at risk of being re-casted.
Note: During the week of the show, there will be a special rehearsal schedule. The final Rehearsal Week will be from May 25 - June 1. All dancers must be available during this week, no exceptions.
