March Group Rehearsal Schedule
Wed March 28 and 29 there are no regular classes (except for Tiny Tot and Kindertot). Instead, we do our festival group costume rehearsal in those 2 days.
These are very important days for the festival students to attend and dance in full costume. Most fixes and changes to costumes are done right then and there! All accessories and headpieces are handed out these days.
Parents are welcome to attend and sit quietly. Students should be ready 5-10 minutes early and warm up and change quickly!!!
These rehearsals are at the studio and the students should attend in full costume, no make up required but hair should be up and in a bun or pony so they can dance. Proper shoes and tights are required for this day!
