Dancers will acclimate to the stage so they feel comfortable on show day.
Dancers who change costumes should have a nude leotard under their costume. All dancers must arrive STAGE READY in costumes, makeup and with hair done.
Absolutely NO food is allowed in the theater and ONLY WATER is permitted. Please Never Eat or Drink anything but water in costume!
