Festival Season
- to ensure we are seeing our students in between festival performance class schedules for April will be adjusted. We thank you in advance for your patience and understanding
- This means your class will most likely be adjusted to a different day of the week and time. We do our best to keep it as regular as possible however it is not always possible as we have to get 5 days of classes condensed often down into 3 days.
- More details will be attached to your April newsletter
Performance Times
- Times are being added to your Studio Director Account as they come in. Please remember they could change. Any changes will be made to your Studio Director account.
- Solos/Duets- please read the emails sent by the office carefully for your dates/ times.
Dropping Off/ Picking Up Your Dancer
- Please meet your teacher in the rehearsal room 1 hour before their scheduled performance time
* Festival can run up to 30 minutes ahead of schedule
* This allows us to warm up and rehearse properly. As well as problem solve any last minute issues.
- After our category is complete and adjudication is over please meet me back in the rehearsal room. This is a very busy space so we ask
* that if you choose to take pictures please do so in the lobby or the hall way
* be respectful to the other groups/ routines rehearsing as you enter and exit the room. Please walk around the perimeter of the room so no one is bumped into or disrupted.
Festival Hints
- Get ready as much as you can at home. Dressing rooms will be busy with the older dancers who don't have time to return to their home/hotel to get ready for their next routine.
- Admission- Advance tickets are not required for festivals. There will be an admission table in the lobby. Please purchase a day pass from there upon your arrival.
- Please give yourself time to park. The DCC is a very busy multi use facility and quite often has multiple events happening on the weekends especially.
- Admission- Most festivals will charge an admission fee. Please make sure to bring cash with you to make it easier on yourself. Dancers do not pay an admission fee.
- If you have any questions or concerns about the festival please send an email to the office. Festival rules state that concerns must be submitted in writing by the studio owner.
- If you decide to stay and watch other categories please ensure that your dancers costume is covered up. A housecoat is a easy and quick way to keep your dancer's hidden while in the theatre
Theatre Etiquette
- Please be respectful of the roped off area around the adjudicator and writer. Do not sit in this area.
- Do not enter or exit the theatre while performances are taking place
- Help everyone find a seat during peak watching times by not leaving a single empty seat between you and the next party. Quickly being able to seat the audience also helps festivals stay on time.
