 MANDATORY DRESS REHEARSAL: Saturday MAY 4, OCONEE CIVIC CENTER

The Dress Rehearsal is extremely important as it is the only chance the students have to get acclimated to the big stage. It is the first time we put the whole show together with all our dancers and working with the light and sound technicians. Students Are REQUIRED to attend the dress rehearsal to perform in the recital on Sunday.

 We run dress rehearsals for each of the 3 show times (2:00, 4;15 and 6:30)  just like on Recital Day (Sunday) and you  attend the same time as your showtime on Sunday.  Your classes showtime is listed below. The showtime is the time the curtain opens – students need to arrive 30 min EARLY (see below) so we can get everyone organized backstage and begin  on time. (We have an incredibly tight schedule!)  

WHAT TIME IS YOUR REHEARSAL?

  • MONDAY CLASSES - 2:00 Rehearsal Saturday CHECK IN 1:30

  • TUESDAY CLASSES- 4:15 Rehearsal Saturday CHECK IN 3:45

  • COMPREHENSIVE B - both 2:00 & 4:15 Rehearsals Saturday CHECK IN 1:30

WHAT TO BRING:

It is very difficult to keep up with personal belongings backstage! BAC IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR PERSONAL BELONGINGS

ARRIVE IN  YOUR DANCE SHOES

Dancers in one number/costume  - do not need to bring anything backstage. Arrive in your costume & dance shoes with Hair & Make up done. 

Dancers with multiple numbers/costumes - Arrive in your first costume  - bring your additional accessories, costumes, shoes in a garment bag  ( label you name on all items & bag) . Please have your dance shoes ON before you check in (we cannot keep up with 200 pairs of street shoes back stage lol)

We will have extra hairspray, pins, nets. etc.. available in each backstage Room. Food / Drinks are not allowed in the dressing rooms or backstage.

Make sure your name is labeled on EVERYTHING.

 

DANCE CARDS ~ CHECK IN/OUT

 When you check in your child you will receive your “DANCE CARD” – this is required to check out your Dancer afterwards. This card will admit one parent into the theater to watch the DRESS REHEARSAL (this card is NOT a show ticket) . All other guests (siblings, parents, grandparents, friends)  will need to pay a entrance fee (Equivalent to show ticket price) to attend the rehearsal.

DISMISSAL FROM REHEARSAL:  We will dismiss students FROM THE STAGE after the rehearsal/show.  One parent will be allowed to come backstage and pick up dancers. After the curtain closes – the ONE parent holding the dance card Given at check-in will line up against the wall of the auditorium  – we will admit one parent at a time backstage to pick up their child and all their belongings. Once you reunite with your child you will need to exit thru the backstage and meet up with the rest of your party in outside.  We will do this same procedure on recital day as well.
