Dress Rehearsals will take place May 8th & May 9th depending on which performance(s) your dancer is in.

All costumes MUST BE RETURNED IMMEDIATELY after the performances at the theater in the
designated return bins. Dancers will need to provide their own leotard, tights or leggings, and shoes as required
