The 1st half Dress Rehearsal is Saturday, May 27th, 1:00 p.m. at The Granada Theatre.  

Students should arrive to Dress Rehearsal AND Recital in the first costume they will be dancing in.

To see what half of show your child is in, the recital performance order is posted on the website and the waiting room bulletin board.  

We will have a brief meeting, at Dress Rehearsal, to introduce you to the babysitters, let you know where your child's dressing room is, where students are to line up prior to show, and where you pick them up after their finale’ number. 

Parents are not allowed back stage during Dress Rehearsal or Recital.  

If your child only has one dance, they are not to bring anything backstage.  

If your child has more than one dance, please allow only one dance bag for their things as there is not much room backstage.  

Please DO NOT bring toys, food, or drink (except for bottled water with a screw on lid) backstage.

Dress Rehearsal will start with the Roses Recognition and Grand Finale' first then by age group starting with the youngest to oldest (each age group will still perform their dances in the same order as recital so please make sure they are in their FIRST dance costume.) Once each age group has finished all their dances, the babysitters will bring them out to the auditorium side isles. Please pick up your child promptly.
