What to Expect:
Dress Rehearsal is where we practice having dancers in costume on stage for spacing, lighting, music, and so on. Dress Rehearsal is mandatory, unless a family emergency has risen. We want to make this as close to our show day as possible so that all dancers feel well prepared.
Dancers should arrive with 1st costume on at call time to sign in. Under their costume, all dancers must wear a skin tone leotard. Hair may be in braid(s) or ponytail for Dress Rehearsal. No makeup is needed at Dress Rehearsal to ensure dancers' costume(s) stay clean for show day.
This is where families will learn where to drop off their dancer on show day and which volunteer will be with them throughout the show. Non volunteer parents may watch dress rehearsal after entering through the audience doors.
We value our dance families being able to see that their dancers are safe through dress rehearsal and show time. Dancers will all be seated in 1 assigned section in the auditorium.
However, to keep the flow it is important that non volunteer parents do not take their child at any point during dress rehearsal or show day. Please do not attempt to take dancers during intermission as all dancers will bow together at the end of the show.
Dancers will be signed in and out with SMD Staff or Volunteer. Failure to follow rules from a dance family may result in being asked to leave with no refund.
