Dress Rehearsal: 10:00am-2:00pm on Saturday, May 20, 2017 at the Plaster Student Union Theater. Most dancers will not need to be present the whole time and may leave right after their class’ final dances are practiced on stage.

10am all dancers must be in the PSU 1st floor lounge dressed and ready to practice our show-opener, “I Lived.” If not able to come fully dressed in costume, ARRIVE EARLIER to be stage-ready by 10am! Hair and makeup can be done at home PRIOR TO arrival. Then dancers will practice their class’ dances in the show order attached.

Classes will have designated areas of the lounge to wait in so they may be easily retrieved when needed for their times on stage by Dance Mission staff.

Vending machines and water fountains are around, but you may also bring dry/non-messy snacks, water, and activities to keep children entertained in the lounge while they wait for their time on stage. Seats for recital cannot be reserved at dress rehearsal.
