ON WITH THE SHOW 2024 – FINAL DETAILS
Staging/blocking and dress rehearsals will be held at The Arts & Culture Centre. Dancers should enter the building through the performers’ entrance, which is located on the Prince Phillip Drive side of the building.
There will be one staging rehearsal and one dress rehearsal per class. Due to time restrictions imposed by the Arts & Culture Centre, some dancers may have staging and dress rehearsal on the same day. Please read the schedule carefully to determine which staging and dress rehearsals each dancer must attend. Please look for your regular class time and the teacher for that class as there are multiple classes with the same dance name on different performance nights.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the studio at (709) 753-8782 or by email at info@thedancecentreonline.com
