All dress rehearsals take place at Zionsville High School (1000 Mulberry St, Zville) in the STAR BANK Performing Arts Center in full costume and hair (no make-up required).

REHEARSAL GUIDELINES

• Please arrive in costume & enter through door #1 (south side of the high school). There will be directional signs helping you find this location. Dancers will be sitting with their class & the chaperone during rehearsal. As noted in the handout we provided in the fall, all dress rehearsals are extremely important & mandatory for all dancers.
• Dancers will stop at the check-in table and be directed or escorted to their class chaperone.
• Please arrive dressed in your first costume and sit with the class of your first dance (from the order of show you’ve been provided). Class chaperones will have signs for each class and be sitting with your group. Dancers will be able to watch the rehearsal from the auditorium.
• In order to minimize confusion & streamline the rehearsal, no parents are allowed in the auditorium during the dress rehearsal UNLESS signed-up as a class chaperone or other volunteer.
• If you are in multiple dances during your dress rehearsal day, please bring your additional costumes with you. Changing areas will be available backstage.
• You are responsible for costume, tights, shoes, and hair.  Dancers do NOT need to wear any make-up for the dress rehearsals. Hair must be pulled back and away from the face – see instructor for specifics if head pieces are included.  No jewelry; leave all valuables at home. No panties under the tights, please.
• Absolutely NO smoking, EATING, GUM, or DRINKING in the auditorium. All food must be consumed outside of the building or in the lobby if the dancer is there for multiple hours.
