In Studio Dress Rehearsal
December 14, 15 2024
held at Parker Dance Academy
Dress Rehearsal
Mandatory for all dancers in the Nutcracker, held at the studio.
- All cast members are required to attend.
- We will run Act 1 from 1-2:30 and Act 2 from 3-5:30 (approx).
- We are staggering arrival times and so it is not helpful to drop off your dancer early.
- We are NOT listing every dance. Please look to see what time your dancer is supposed to arrive for their
1st dance and they will do their second dance when it’s time. - We have arranged it so that our youngest dancers (Kd-2nd grade) do not have to stay the whole time.
Hair:
Hair must be slicked back in a bun, no moving hair please (or as directed previously in the Supply List) so that headpieces look nice. Party girls and moms need to have their hairpieces and hair done as for performance.
Shoes/Tights/Bodyliners:
Dancers must have the required supplies. Please note: If you need to purchase supplies at PDAs, we may not have anyone available at the front desk during this rehearsal to sell dance wear. Thank you in advance for purchasing your dancewear ahead of time!
Make Up:
All dancers 5th grade and older need to be wearing their stage make up please.
Cast Dancers:
Show 1 will perform during our in-studio Dress Rehearsal. Show 2 will
perform during our onstage Dress Rehearsal at Ponderosa High School.
