Today’s Dress Rehearsal at the Hett

Dress Rehearsal Day! Please arrive 30 minutes before rehearsal begins so we can make sure all children are present and in costume at the beginning of each rehearsal. If you arrive after rehearsal has already started, your child’s dance may already be onstage and you cannot miss this rehearsal – it is 100% mandatory. If your rehearsal starts at 4:30pm please arrive at 4pm, if rehearsal starts at 5:30pm arrive at 5pm, etc. When you arrive please check in at the hallway on the left side of the lobby so we know you are here. We have parents and SSDC kids to help change in the dressing rooms, but if you want to stay and sit behind your child in the audience for the hour, you are welcome to stay and watch! It’s a beatiful show so you’ll get a mini-preview. Ballet 3 Angels are only needed at the 1st rehearsal today, because we do the same dance in both shows – I circled the 4:30pm rehearsal on their Nov newsletter.

There is a chance of some snow this afternoon, but no accumulation is expected, and we will have dress rehearsal no matter what. Just be careful and don’t wear your ballet shoes in the parking lot.

The Hett has released 10 general admission tickets per show for anyone who didn’t get tickets yet. They are the black seats in the back of the auditorium, but they are still really good seats. I’ve sat there before and it’s a great view of the stage. You can call the Hett box office or follow the link below. If you have extra tickets to sell at the last minute, you can post a card with your info and tickets available on the dressing room door and see if anyone still needs tickets before this weekend.

Thursday, December 11^th – MANDATORY Dress Rehearsal at the Hett. 4-9:30pm.  There are no regular classes at DanceStation that Thursday evening, since we will all be at the Hett.  Please allow 30 minutes past rehearsal time for running over if needed. Dress rehearsal is fluid – we are putting together lights, costumes, sets, backdrops, snow falling, etc. and things tend to take longer in some instances. We try very hard to stay on schedule with so many kids in and out this evening, but please be patient and allow for 30 extra minutes if needed. Please have your dancers come with their hair in a performance ready bun, dressed in their nude leotard with pink tights over the nude leo. Bring ballet shoes in their bags, they are not to be worn in the parking lot. Dancers will change in and out of costume in the dressing rooms for dress rehearsal and performances, and their name will be on a hanger with their costume.
