THINGS TO PACK

  • All dance shoes required for the show

  • Extra dance wear in case any accidents occur

  • Bathrobe or long sweater to wear over costume to keep clean 

  • Stage make-up (powder, blush, lip-stick, etc)  

  • Hair supplies (brush, rubber bands, pins, hairnets, hair product to secure loose hair)

  • Pre-show light snack (not too messy for costumes), between show meal and water 

  • Backstage Boredom Busters such as books, crayons and coloring sheets, board games or small toys

  • Name should be labeled on all dance wear and shoes!   

BEFORE THE THEATER

 

Plan to arrive early or on time to tech rehearsal and performances at the theater. Tech rehearsal is the last practice is important for the individual dancer and the group as a whole to go over safety information and prepare on the stage. 

 

For both tech rehearsal and performances, female cast members are required to arrive dressed in pink tights and a leotard that matches their skin tone. Male cast members should arrive dressed in BRB dress code and will receive instructions on further needed attire.  

 

For both tech rehearsal and performances, dancers must arrive with make-up done and hair in a proper ballet bun. We recommend practicing your child's ballet bun for class and rehearsals. See tutorials below and join Ms. Patty for her Ballet Bun Workshop before the performances (See calendar for details). 

THANK YOU

 

We are excited to have you and your child be a part of BRB's Nutcracker tradition! We ask that a full commitment be given to the rehearsal schedule as it is a huge undertaking to put this full production together for our community.

We are thrilled to continue giving the gift of dance to our community for another Nutcracker season. Thank you for being a part! 

Sincerely,
