Rehearsals

• Dancers must attend all production rehearsals, dates listed in Key Dates.

• We only have one short run-through on the venue stage, so attending every group rehearsal is essential. This helps every dancer feel confident and makes the day more enjoyable.

• Please notify us in advance if your dancer will miss a rehearsal.

 

Class Attendance

• Students must attend all their classes in Term 3 and 4.

• Regular attendance is important so dancers learn the choreography properly. If your dancer will miss a class due to illness or another reason, please let us know so we can inform the teachers.

• If a student misses class without notice, teachers may assume they have changed classes or left and adjust the choreography accordingly. Class changes are not permitted after the closing date of this registration form.
