Dressing Room Assignments:

Note! We do have all dressing rooms rented out for our Monday & Friday rehearsals, and of course the Saturday show. Please put your items in your assigned dressing rooms on Monday & Friday, and then head straight to the audience for show notes before we begin. Once we begin the show, dancers will need to stay in their assigned dressing room so we can find you when it's time to line up. The show will be a quick one, so you will not be able to sit in the audience and watch, even at the rehearsals. Thank you!

• Group 1: Winter Wonderland
• Group 2: Sleigh Ride
• Group 3: Run Run Rudolph

Aerobics Room (back hallway):

Helpers: please stay in the dressing room with your group. You will be assisting in lining up your dancers, keeping them quiet in the hall and backstage, the quick change for finale, and helping things run smoothly.

*Parents are not allowed backstage during the performance. If your dancer is assigned to a dressing room backstage you can assist them in getting set up and ready, but once the show begins you cannot be back there. Thank you!

Hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving!

We will see you on stage in just 6 days!
