Dancers will need to attend all rehearsals - No time off will be given for any reason. Please see dates
All rehearsals will be long days and you will need to provide plenty of food and drink. Note, the dancers will not be on stage or working the whole time they are here and will have lots of break time
If a dancer misses a rehearsal, without prior agreement by choreographer and director, they will be replaced
All dancers will get a special Zebra Panto Discount Card for all food and soft drinks for their personal use during the rehearsal period and until the end of the last performance day
Dancers will be split into two teams and each team will perform on alternate days
There may be reserves required who will be expected to attend all rehearsals in order to become familiar with the routines. This is a harder role which requires good concentration
Additional Terms for All Junior Dancers/Parents/Guardians
Please be aware ALL parents/guardians must commit to chaperone and will be required to apply for a chaperone licence (if one is not already held) by the time rehearsals start.
