YOUNGER SOLOISTS
Any soloists not performing in a group dance in the Festival (classes Baby or Pre-Primary, Felicity, Sian, Grace and William) are invited to come during any of the Under 9 groups slots so they can see the stage and what it is like. Unfortunately, soloists are not permitted to have a rehearsal on stage, so this is the only opportunity they have to see the stage before performing, so I strongly advise that you attend and make yourself known to one of the helpers back stage.
Once the children have changed and are ready to go on stage, you are welcome to sit in the audience and watch the dress rehearsal, and also stay on for as long as you like afterwards to see some of the other groups that are competing. On this day, due to the very hectic schedule, I will be unable to answer questions so please email or text me afterwards and I will be able to reply.
GROUPS PRE-DRESS REHEARSAL WEEK AT THE STUDIO 12TH-17TH JANUARY
During the second week of term, in normal class time, I would like the children to come to class in their costumes so I can check all costumes and accessories.
SOLO DRESS REHEARSAL AT THE STUDIO
So I can see all solos in costume, please attend the studio on Sunday 18th January.
We will run roughly to the following timetable:
2pm-3pm Categories Baby, Pre-Primary, Primary, A & B
3pm-4.20pm Categories C, D, E & F
If any juniors/seniors would like to stay a little later or arrive a little earlier than the times stated above to watch some of the other soloists dance then please feel free as it is always nice to have an audience!
