    Dress Rehearsal at The Egg

    Dancers can bring peanut-free, non-messy snacks & water only.

    All costumes must be labeled with your dancer's name and the name of the dance on the hanger with painters tape (SEE ATTACHMENT) Please see website "Recital 2026" tab, for names of dances and costume info. 

     

    DROP-OFF PROCEDURE

    When you arrive, you will check your dancer in and a class helper will escort them backstage. Parents are welcome to leave and return for the start of the recital.

    ·      All dancers must arrive dressed and ready in their first costume of the dress rehearsal (This will also be their first dance in the recital).

    ·      If your dancer is in Big Ballet, please have them arrive in their Big Ballet costume. They will change in their dressing rooms with class helpers during their break for their first dance of the recital.

    Dancers will remain in the same costume and shoes for the entire dress rehearsal. The purpose of rehearsal is simply for the dancers to get a feel for the stage.
