This will be our ONLY rehearsal at the theatre. ALL other rehearsals will be held at the studio.
Dress Rehearsal is MANDATORY!!!! Any student not at the theatre at the time rehearsal begins, will not be allowed to perform
on the performance dates. There are no exceptions to this so please,
plan to allow ample time for rush hour traffic, locating the parking
lot and theatre. Yes, we are well aware this is late for young
children and we will make every effort to begin on time, rehearse
with the young ones first and dismiss them first whenever possible.
Performers are to enter the theater through the front doors at rehearsal and the back door the day of the performance

Costume Information
Costume fees: $65.00*
Costume fees due no later than February 4, 2012
*No late orders will be accepted*
There are no refunds on costumes (All costumes are made to order)
Some costumes ordered may not be available for purchase. If this should happen, we will make every effort to find a costumes comparable in style.
Fill out costume order form with student’s name & class level. 
Measure student’s waist, hips and girth, (the girth is the measurement circling the torso, begin with tape measure on the top of the shoulder, down the front of the body, through the crotch, and up the back to the same shoulder making a full circle). Allow for some growth in all of these measurements.
Find the size chart for each class’s costume. This is important since not all costumes are ordered from the same costume companies. If student is close to the next size, be sure to order larger. Order large enough to wear in the spring show. Don’t forget to sign the costume form! No costume orders will be placed unless signed.
Remember – Sign the order form and return by Feburary 4, 2012.
Performance Terms and Conditions
1. All dancers must be registered, attending both sessions III & IV, and attending classes regularly.
2. Students may miss no more than TWO studio rehearsals. This will be enforced! If you know that you will be missing two rehearsals due to other commitments, consider skipping this show since you may need to miss more days due to illness.
3. Dress rehearsal is mandatory and all performers must attend on time and prepared in full costume including accessories, hair preparations and dancing shoes.
4. All dancers must remain at the theatre at dress rehearsal until dismissed by the director. Yes, we are well aware of the late hour of the rehearsal and every effort will be made to run the rehearsal on time and excuse the students as quickly as possible. Younger students will rehearse first and be dismissed first.
5. Food and beverages are not permitted in the theatre. This is the theatre’s rule, not ours. Please, don’t jeopardize our future at CAC.
6. Backstage crowding can be a fire hazard. No parents, friends or relatives will be allowed backstage during a rehearsal or performance unless they are volunteers wearing official backstage passes.
7. All performers will remain quietly in dressing rooms prior to and following their performance.
8. Performers must arrive backstage on the day of the performance on
time. It takes time to check students in, offer help with costume,
make-up, hair, shoes, and locate their appropriate group. Arriving
late can distract volunteers or interrupt the director or instructors
from their own preparations. Please consider leaving home 15
minutes earlier than you normally would.
9. We will be charging a performance fee. This is to help offset the
increase in theatre fees without increasing ticket prices. All instructors
will continue to volunteer their time, without pay, to choreograph and
rehearse with you children
Performers unable to follow these terms will forfeit all performance rights and any costume or ticket expenses.
