• Dance Workshop for students interested in a featured dancer role to learn audition dance (See important dates)
• Dance Choreography Video posted after workshop

• Choreographers are Ms. Wallace & Ms. Getter.
• Dancers meet in the music room for rehearsals until Ms. Wallace or Ms. Getter comes to get them to bring them to gym.
• Dancers should not be in the gym without a teacher. If there is no teacher in the gym, dancers must stay in the music room.

• Boys: Black or brown dress shoes; black, red, or green dress pants; a Christmas colored (green, red, black, white, silver, gold) button-down shirt or sweater. Christmas accessories are allowed if they are not huge or distracting. 
• Girls: Black, silver, gold, red, or green dress shoes—flats preferable or short heels (1 inch or less); black dress pants or skirt that hits right above the knee or longer. If wearing a skirt, girls can wear tights or leggings that are black, gray, white, gold, silver, green, or red. Girls can also wear a Christmas dress that hits right above the knee or longer. Leggings and tights can also be worn with a dress. Christmas accessories are allowed if they are not huge or distracting. 

• Mondays and Thursdays, 10/02/23 – 11/20/23 from 3:15 to 4:30 p.m. (except production week). There will also be a couple weeks with a Thursday rehearsal instead of a Wednesday rehearsal.
• Production week rehearsals run every day from 11/27/23 – 12/01/23 during the school day. 
• Rehearsals do not conflict with Melody Makers and we work out any conflicts with Robotics.
• Students should bring their own snack and water bottle to rehearsal and meet in the EBL music room directly after school. Snacks need to be nut-free and as non-messy as possible because they will be eating them in the music room. 
• Carpool pickup is in the lower loop carpool. Students will be walked to the loop at 4:35, but parents can pick up students outside of the music room at 4:30. 
• Cast members are expected to be at all required rehearsals. 
• If your student MUST miss a rehearsal (other than dates specified during your registration), you MUST notify the director at Emaline.rider@chca-oh.org and EBL.music@chca-oh.org BEFORE the fact. Multiple absences may jeopardize your student’s role even if they are prearranged and excused.
