MONDAY TO WEDNESDAY REHEARSALS
Please note everyone MUST enter through the BACK ENTRANCE (pool side). The doors will be closed during our sessions, and we will have teachers/parents allowing entry/exit (signing them in/out) for 5 minutes on either side of each session. We will do our very best to run to the scheduled times, but if you get there late, then please text one of us to come and let you in. Yes, parents may watch these rehearsals, but unfortunately so, siblings (unless dancers)

THURSDAY REHEARSAL
This is a full run through of the recital but NOT a dress rehearsal. This is strictly for DANCERS only. The only exception being the parents of Barrel Monkeys &Twister
3.30pm to 4.30pm Opening Number
4.30pm to 6.00pm Part One
6.00pm to 6.30pm. Dads Dance
6.30pm to 8.00pm Part Two
8.00pm to 8.45pm. Pop Up Pirate
You must arrive through the back entrance (pool side) where we will only be opening the doors and signing dancers in/out in the fifteen minutes before/after of each session. E.g. 3.15pm, 4.15pm Quick Costume Changes – All dancers that have a quick change are to bring their costumes for those dances only. A quick change is considered 1-3 dances in between which means they get dressed side stage as no time to return to dressing rooms.
We totally understand some of the kids are bummed about Halloween so if your child wishes to dress up then we are happy for them to do so (but they must be able to dance in the costume). They can wear a dance costume if they like J. We will also do a lolly scramble – as a celebration of their hard work.
SATURDAY 12.30PM & 2.15PM SHOWS (Part 1 & 2 Only)
If your DANCER(S) are in items #1-8 of “Part One” or “Part Two” then they must arrive at the theatre all dressed and ready (meaning hair and make-up done) half hour before the show begins; and if in items #9-15 then the latest they can arrive is 15 minutes after showtime.
Please pick up your dancer when the show (either part one or two) which is approximately 1-hour duration (each) ends. We can confirm the duration after our rehearsal on Thursday.
No dancers will be allowed at the theatre between 3.30pm and 5.00pm.
SATURDAY 6.00PM & SUNDAY 12.30PM/ 5.30PM SHOWS
If your DANCER(S) are in items #1-8 of “Part One” then they must arrive at the theatre all dressed and ready (meaning hair and make-up done) half hour before the show begins; and if in items #9- 15 then the latest they can arrive is 15 minutes after showtime.
If in “Part Two” then they must arrive at 7.00pm (Saturday) 1.30pm/6.30pm (Sunday) and will be lined up to enter once the part one dancer’s have departed.
All those in Part two can be picked up at the end of the show – again we can confirm the endingtime after Thursdays rehearsal.
No dancers will be allowed at the theatre between 3.30pm and 5.00pm
Theatre Rehearsals
The timetable is attached for Monday, 28th October, through to Thursday 31st October.
Remember to carpool and help each other out during this crazy but full of “fun, friendships and memories made” week. Every practice is important as the dancers get more comfortable with their new stage setting as the week goes by. There may be rehearsals on Friday for our senior dancers (if needed).
Photo Day
Individual and Group Photos will be held on Sunday, October 27th, at our studio. All students must attend in full hair/makeup and costume.
Hairstyles
We have many students in more than one dance, so it is easier to have the same hairstyle for everyone. It is stressful for those backstage to have their hairstyles changed, but there are a few exceptions due to hats or wigs. At this stage, I am saying BUNS for everyone with the exception of Dora (who has wigs), but if you are a costume coordinator, please get in touch with me if you have any concerns regarding buns.
Recital help needed
If you are keen to be a parent helper, please message me – the jobs are as follows:
Signing dancers in and out and Helping in the changing room
Trophies/Prizegiving
This is a reminder that all trophies must be returned urgently.
Hopefully, I have covered everything, but if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to email cssd1991@gmail.com or call 021 114 1137.
Thanks, everyone, Caroline
