I understand that to participate in Sac Civic Ballets, all scheduled rehearsals are mandatory. Sac Civic Ballets involve dancers at every level. Dancers are expected to rehearse their individual roles during the week. Every effort will be made to schedule the rehearsals close to when the students are already taking class, or when their level class is being offered. Individual rehearsals generally begin 3 months before the performance.

Group rehearsals, which involve putting all of the parts to the ballet together, start generally 2 months before the show and are always on Saturdays. These rehearsals start at 3:30 pm and end at approximately 7pm.

Dancers will be assigned rehearsal times after the roles have been cast.

Tech week starts Monday before the show, and is every day from 4:30pm to approximately 10pm. Every effort will be made to allow younger students to go home earlier, but this can not be guaranteed.

Unexcused absences will mean a loss of a role. An excused absence requires a two week notice. Please email mrdon@deanedancecenter.com.


All individual rehearsals, group rehearsals, tech week and dress rehearsals are mandatory and by checking below you are agreeing to abide by these conditions.
