Timetable
We will send all dancers a timetable to let them know which rehearsals we’d like them to attend after all participation forms have been collected and we have been able to create a cast. The timetable below gives an idea of when we expect to hold rehearsals for group dances, according to each dancer’s age range/enrolled classes. Please note that there may be slight differences in times listed for the first and second half terms.
Dancers with soloist roles will likely be asked to attend more rehearsals than those listed below.
Draft Timetable for Group Dances – Dancers with soloist roles may be asked to attend extra rehearsals – Timetable subject to change.
