​STAGE DRESS REHEARSAL

A mandatory full stage dress rehearsal will be held at Mountain View High School.  Dancers are to arrive completely dressed in costume, hair, and make-up ready to perform.  Parents may enter the auditorium to video and/or take pictures.

​Performers are to arrive at 5:30 pm. Upon arrival, dancers will be shown to their dressing area. Rehearsal will begin no later than 6:00 pm and is scheduled to end by 8:30 pm.  We will make every effort to stay on schedule.  Our curtain call will be rehearsed first, followed by the show in order.  After each dancer is finished dancing, they will be released from rehearsal.   Parents will pick dancers up from their assigned dressing area. We ask no men in the dressing areas, staff will be available to help with pickup.

​This can be a very chaotic day, only parents may attend, no siblings please. Dress rehearsal is a good time for flash photography or video, as it is prohibited at Saturday’s performance. Concessions will be available (chips, candy and drinks)

​COSTUME INFORMATION

Dancers should arrive in costume, hair and make-up ready to perform at each of the above rehearsals and performance.  For those who do not know, underwear is NOT to be worn with tights!  Make-up is to be worn so that performers do not look washed out from stage lighting. 

For dancers in more than one dance:  Please hang each costume on a hanger and clearly label each piece with the dance name.  Shoes and tights for each dance need to be in a bag labeled with the dancers name and dance name.

*** CHRISTMAS SHOW COSTUME PROCEDURES***

On performance day, please have clothing for your dancer to change into before leaving the venue.  At pick up, one female adult, presenting their "name ticket" will be allowed in the dressing area to assist their dancer in changing.  All costumes are to be turned in before leaving the performance venue.  This ensures that all costumes are returned to D&G for cleaning, repairs, and storage.

​Dress rehearsals and the performance itself may be long for younger dancers.  It is advised that they use the restroom before being dropped off.  Small, non-spill water bottles that are clearly labeled will be allowed at dress rehearsal, absolutely no other drinks, or snacks will be allowed in dressing areas.  Dancers should leave ALL belongings with parents.  D&G staff and room mothers are not responsible for any belongings left behind, lost, damaged, or stolen.
