La Coppelia Cast Information
General Information
Rehearsal Information
- This production is a ballet, so it is important that you are attending ballet classes regularly to build stamina, prevent injury, as well maintain, and improve technique. We only have a few rehearsals to set choreography and blocking so it is important that you come to rehearsal prepared.
- It is important that you arrive promptly to rehearsal, ready to dance.
- You may bring in your water and shoes, but we ask that you leave large bags in the dressing room area. Bags will be monitored but we ask you keep all valuables at home.
- For longer rehearsals we recommend packing a few snacks. Dancers are welcome to put food in the fridge. Alamo City Arts provides water and healthy snacks, but it is on a first come first serve basis.
- Female Identifying Dancers: Please wear a clean, solid (black or pink preferred) leotard, pink tights, pink ballet shoes with hair neatly off the face (bun preferred for hair longer than shoulders). Please begin practicing how you will do your hair for the show now. A ballet skirt is acceptable but may be asked to be removed if it is a distraction or inhibits the choreography. Special character skirts or tutus may be requested by the director and will be discussed with the individual dancer.
- Male Identifying Dancers: Please wear a black or white fitted shirt, black or white pants and black ballet shoes(unless specified otherwise). Please pull your hair back and away from the face if your hair is long.
- Please be aware of personal hygiene. We are a large cast and dance close in proximity. Mints, deodorant, and towels to wipe up sweat (that are changed out daily), are recommended staples for dance bags.
- Dancers, please make a conscious effort to pick up after yourself in the studio and dressing room area. This includes water bottles, bobby pins, pointe shoe padding, etc.
- Please be sure dancers are arriving and leaving in cover-ups or warmups and in street shoes. Do not wear your ballet shoes outside of the studio.
- It is important you submit an absentee form as soon as you know you will be unable to attend rehearsal. If you submit an absentee form after the rehearsal has already started, it will count as an unexcused absence. Please see the attached information sheet for how to submit an absentee form on the rehearsal schedule. If you miss more than 3 rehearsals, you will be asked to forfeit your part. All rehearsal dates that you will be missing must be submitted to the Rehearsal Absentee form by February 8th.
- Parents will not be allowed into rehearsals for any reason. If you or your dancer are struggling with separation or trying something new, we recommend arriving early to ensure a smooth transition into rehearsals.
