Dress Rehearsal Schedule - Dress rehearsal days start early. We understand this may require some dancers to leave school early. The schedule has been carefully designed to minimize this need where possible. We know dress rehearsals are long days, but once dancers complete their performances, the rewards are well worth the effort!

1. Soloists & Special Parts

  • Rehearsals typically begin with soloists and auditioned parts.

  • During this part of rehearsal, each dancer has about 10 minutes to rehearse on stage out of costume. If you are a soloist or special part and cannot make your “private” rehearsal time, please contact Ms. Colleen at colleen@tdanceconn.com before November 1.

  • Later, during the full show run, they will rehearse their dance once in costume.

2. Full Show Rehearsals

  • After soloists finish private rehearsals, we begin rehearsing the shows including soloists and special parts.

Call Times & Dismissal

  • Dancers are assigned a Call Time (time to check in) based on the scene they appear in. Please find this information on the Performace Information table located in the Performance tab. Please note your assigned Show and Part, Dress Rehearsal Call Time, and Show Day Call Time.

  • All dancers included in the same scene are given the same Call Time so if we can take pictures before going on stage and have the flexibility to run ahead of schedule when possible.

  • For dancers with multiple parts - If there is significant time between Call Times, dancers are encouraged to do homework in the Parent’s Lounge or quietly watch rehearsals from the theater. Dancers under the age of 12 must be supervised by an adult. If dancers miss a Call Time because they were practicing on stage, they should quickly practice their costume change in the dressing rooms/wings and return to the lobby or wings.

  • Ms. Josephine will be stationed in the lobby and available to answer any questions.

Duration and Punctuality Reminder - Please plan on being at dress rehearsal for approximately 75 minutes after the start of your Call Time. However, dancers will be released as soon as their rehearsal is complete.

Dress rehearsals run on a very tight schedule. Please arrive on time to ensure you do not miss your cue. Unfortunately, we are unable to delay rehearsals for late dancers, as doing so affects the entire schedule. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding!
