ATTENDANCE AT DRESS REHEARSAL IS MANDATORY All students must attend. Renting the theater and paying a technical crew for dress rehearsal is very expensive. We would not do it, if it were not necessary! Any eating must be done in the dressing rooms only. If you need to eat, bring water and a sandwich only. No food/snacks are allowed in the theater. Please leave the theater immediately after your child s rehearsal in order to allow for sufficient parking for the other dancers coming after you. Only 1 person should accompany your child to the dress rehearsal. (2 at most) Videotaping is allowed at dress rehearsal only. It is not allowed at the shows. If you need a table to put make-up on, please bring a small tv table. THANK YOU, DANCE WORLD ACADEMY

NO PERSON will be admitted into the auditorium on ANY night of the show while carrying any of the above equipment. COOPERATION AND PATIENCE We are very fortunate to have many wonderful parents who understand the complex problems involved in putting on such an elaborate and professional production. Unfortunately, however, there are always a few who do not seem to realize the hours of hard work that goes into what they see onstage. Often, they fly off the handle over some small problems or simply refuse to cooperate with the rules we have set. We CANNOT manage our entire student body and run a smooth show without our rules. They absolutely must be followed! Problems that crop up can more easily be solved if everyone stays calm! NO ONE likes a problem to occur, especially not the organizers of our show who have labored endlessly to make a great show. Life is made up of problems and we must cope with them the best we can. PLEASE TRY TO STAY CALM! DANCE WORLD ACADEMY prides itself on producing a beautiful show that you can be proud to take your friends and family to. Let s everyone try to enjoy it. PLEASE COOPERATE! Prepare for a long sit knit, do crossword puzzles or just sit back and relax. COSTUMES All lost costume part problems can be avoided if you follow a few simple suggestions: 1 - Put your child s name on everything! 2 - Before leaving for the theatre, check to make sure you have everything! (Especially gloves, headpieces, etc.) 3 - Before leaving the theatre, check again to make sure you have everything! 4 - If your child has several costume changes, bring a box to the theatre with his/her name on it. Put all costumes and accessories in the box when your child finishes performing. Tell your child not to throw everything all over. 5 - Please check the order of the show at the studio. If your child has a fast change make sure someone will be there to help him/her! We cannot be responsible for changing each and every child!
