Dress Rehearsal ORDERS

At MDU we have 2 unique “Dress Rehearsal” experiences: In-Class Dress Rehearsals and On-Stage Dress Rehearsals. Both are mandatory and play an important role in helping dancers feel prepared and comfortable on stage.

In-Class Dress Rehearsals take place the during our final class week of the season, May 6-11, during your dancer's regular class time at the studio. Parents are allowed to join us for the Last 10 Minutes of class during our In-Class Dress Rehearsal week to get final reminders and tips from their instructor. 

On-Stage Dress Rehearsals take place May 14-16, at Viterbo University's Fine Arts Center. The On-Stage Dress Rehearsal allows students to become familiar with the theater and feel comfortable with their performance, costume(s), and being on stage. Lighting, music cues, entrances, exits, formations, and all other logistics are rehearsed so the students have the best experience possible on stage.

Our On-Stage Dress Rehearsals are relaxed, yet organized and timely. Students should arrive in costume, with hair and makeup done. Once you are done rehearsing, you may leave. However, it is always fun to stay for a while with your child and watch quietly from the back of the theater so they can see other groups rehearse.
