STAGE REHEARSAL**

 

SATURDAY, JULY 5, 2025

This year’s stage rehearsal will take place on Saturday, July 5th at the Noel S. Ruiz Theater, in Oakdale. Students should NOT wear their costumes for this rehearsal to quicken the entire process and so that costumes remain neat for the upcoming performance! All students should wear the assigned color/ style of shoes that they will wear on the performance day.

All students should arrive early so we can begin rehearsal promptly at 11:00am. To help rehearsal run smoothly, we will try to rehearse all classes with younger students within the first two hours. We will rehearse the finale beginning around 12:30pm and then allow our younger students to leave by 1:00pm. The order of the classes listed below is NOT the order in which the rehearsal will be run. For those classes listed in the ‘second block’: as soon as you have completed your dances, pending Miss Susan’s permission, you may leave before 4:00pm. Those in the company/line dances may be required to stay shortly past 4:00pm. Please arrive early/ on time! 

As a courtesy to all parents Dance Sensation does not consider the “stage” rehearsal a “closed” rehearsal, however due to theater protocols we ask that only one parent be present in the auditorium. Please do not invite extended family and friends to this rehearsal – this is a working rehearsal and will be treated as such – the students have a lot of staging information to gather, and we cannot have them distracted. A full video of the performance will be available for purchase on DVD or USB Flash drive.

NO FOOD OR DRINK IS ALLOWED IN THE AUDITORIUM AT ANY TIME!
