Typically, rehearsals are conducted once/twice a week.  Additional rehearsals are called as necessary to get ready for performances. We do our best to specify which dances are being rehearsed when, so you attend only when needed.  Each dancer is permitted three absences during the season.  Exceptions to this rule are occasionally made with approval of the Artistic Director or applicable choreographer.   A short warmup will be given prior to rehearsals whenever possible.  All members must participate in ballet classes at their home dance school on other days of the week.
