Hello everyone,
It’s nearly show time!
With only 3 weeks after half term before we move to the Kings Hall, it’s all getting very exciting! Costumes are being fitted, dances are being polished and the energy is absolutely fantastic!
Kings Hall Rehearsal Schedule
Each dancer has taken home a personalised, highlighted sheet with their rehearsal schedule. Please only attend the rehearsals highlighted as we have planned chaperone rotas accordingly. If I have not highlighted the technical / dress rehearsals, then you are not required.
A digital copy can be found on the ‘Everybody Dance Now’ page. If you are stuck, drop me an email!
When attending these rehearsals, please enter via the King’s Hall entrance. Families are welcome to stay in the theatre during the rehearsals as long as siblings are monitored closely by parents.
Every performer will need to be signed in with Laura/Iwan. They will also need signing out before they leave.
For anyone under 16, if you would like them to make their own way home, please let us know in advance. We will have to ring you on the night to confirm if we haven’t heard from you.
(Please note, there are no classes at the studio during the two show weeks. If it is not your show week, you have the week off dance while we work with the opposite team.)
Kit List & Hair Requirements
Dancers have also taken home a highlighted kit list of what they need to bring to the performances. This will clarify if it is ballet socks / tights for ballet and white or black socks for tap/modern. Again, drop me an email if you are unsure.
We will have a number of hair stations set up in the Winter Gardens with a full supply of hair bobbles, grips, hair spray, hair gel and accessories. These will be manned by volunteers as Laura cannot get through 100 dancers on her own! Any parents that would be willing to stay before the show starts to help with hair and make-up this would be greatly appreciated!
Performances
For performances, please enter through the Winter Gardens entrance. Your allocated arrival time can be found on your ‘Kings Hall Rehearsal Schedule’ mentioned above.
You will need to sign in and out at the table at the top of the stairs.
If your child is only involved in Act 1, they need collecting from the Winter Gardens during the interval. They will be finished and changed 1 hour and 15mins after start time.
If your child is only involved in Act 2, please arrive 45mins -1 hour after Act 1 has started. If you are watching the show, arriving at the start of the interval would be absolutely fine.
Again, anyone under the age of 16 making their own way home needs to have had parental permission before they can leave the premises unattended.

Photos and Filming
Each show will be recorded and a digital download will be available to purchase. We have opted against DVDs this time.
Dancers will also have the opportunity to have their photograph professionally taken in costume at each performance. These will also be available to purchase.
More info on the above to follow.
Our last day in the studio will be Saturday 26th October and classes resume on Monday 4th November.
Have a wonderful half term break!
Best wishes,
The Williams Family
