Classes are Rehearsals!
Because we want to instill our students with a great work ethic and professional demeanor, we run our classes as rehearsals. After all, we are rehearsing for a June performance and many other performances in between. Being professional and courteous does not mean we don’t like to have fun; we just like to have organized fun!
Rehearsal Rules:
- Always be in the correct attire with the correct shoes at the start of rehearsal (on time is 5 minutes early). Instructors may not allow students to participate in class if they are more than 10 minutes late. You may watch, but you may not participate. Missing a warm-up is dangerous and tardiness is inconsiderate to everyone in the rehearsal.
- If rehearsing for a musical or play, bring the appropriate music and script, with several sharpened pencils with erasers, for taking blocking and notes down. Practice your material at home in between your rehearsals.
- The director/choreographer should have the performers’ complete attention. Performers must not talk among themselves unless directed to do so.
- If you are waiting your turn to rehearse, please be courteous by being quiet.
- No food, gum, cell phones or hard-soled street shoes are allowed in the studios.
- Drugs, smoking and gossip are not tolerated within the studios.
- Check your tap shoes for loose screws, and tennis shoes for rocks or pebbles, before going on the brand new floors!
- Always ask before you leave a rehearsal.
- Parents, please do not distract your child while they are rehearsing.
- Good attendance is important for the student’s success. Being inconsistent with attendance and falling behind has several consequences:
- The owner may need to request personal make-up lessons at an additional fee to the student
- If the student cannot catch up with choreography, lines, or vocals (whatever the case may be), he/she may be excluded from the June production and other performance opportunities.
- The student may feel dejected and embarrassed.
- Please take bathroom breaks before going into rehearsal.
- No food or liquids allowed, with the exception of bottled water.
- Please exit rehearsal immediately so the next group can begin.
- Have fun and enjoy the process!
