What’s the purpose?

Tech rehearsals allow us, as the name suggests, work out the technical aspects of the dance, such as making sure the music is clear, the lighting fits the movement, and allowing students to become familiar with the bigger floor dimensions and stage entrances.

​

We often run dances a few times through to increase the comfort level. This is also a great time to ask any questions that you might have regarding the costume, hair/makeup, etc. Because of the importance of these rehearsals, attendance for all dancers is mandatory.

 

What time/day do I have to be there?

Mandatory Tech Rehearsals are Tuesday, June 2nd and Wednesday, June 3rd.​ Your dancer will be scheduled either one or both of these evenings depending on the number of dances they are in. See below for exact times and which day you are scheduled for. Absences and failure to be part of Tech Rehearsals may result in not being eligible to perform in the actual performances.

​

Please be at the theatre, dressed, warmed-up and ready to dance at least 10 minutes before your schedule tech rehearsal time. If we are running late, we sincerely apologize. If we are running ahead – it’s a good thing that you’re there early! 

​

Dancer's will then be free to depart if they are not scheduled for any additional tech rehearsal times. Parents/guardians of dancers in 4K through 8th grade must stay with their dancer at the theatre during tech rehearsals. 

​

What should I wear?

You will wear full costume, hair and shoes for tech rehearsal. Make-up is optional for Tech Rehearsals, and required for Dress Rehearsal and Performances.

Please refer to the Show Information page for all dancer's costume information.

​

You should wear the appropriate costume for the dance that’s rehearsing (listed on the Tech order below). All alterations must be done before tech rehearsal. Make sure costumes are in pristine condition, wrinkle free and dance shoes are clean and polished. Families and dancers are responsible for any alterations and care of their costumes and shoes. ​

​

In addition to the two performances, we require all jewelry, watches, and finger/visible toe nail polish be removed for Tech & Dress Rehearsals too.
