• All rehearsals and performances are held at PS 889 (21 Hinckley Place, Booklyn, NY 11218) on April 1 & 2. There will be no dance classes during those dates.

• If your dancer has multiple same day rehearsals or performances, they will have a break between performances.

+ REHEARSALS & PERFORMANCES

Q: When will my child rehearse and perform?

• Click here for your child's rehearsal and performance schedule.

• Students MUST arrive at least 10-15 minutes prior to their dress rehearsal start time and be in full costume ready to perform when rehearsal begins.

• For performances, students MUST arrive 1 hour before the show begins.

• Students may not bring any personal or valuable belongings with them backstage. We are not responsible for lost or stolen items.

• Dancers rehearsing/performing in more than one show in the same day must be picked up after each rehearsal or performance. Parent volunteers are welcome to assist during breaks.

• If your student can leave the school building alone, please send us an email at info@cynthiakingdance.com.

Q: Do I get to watch rehearsals?

• No. Parents are not allowed in the theater during rehearsal. Parents will not accompany dancers backstage. Staff will be present to supervise dancers.

• Drop-off and pick-up students in the school lobby.

+ COSTUMES & HAIR

• Costumes will be distributed in March after you complete AND PASS your POP QUIZ.

• If your dancer is wearing a leotard or tutu, THEY SHOULD NOT WEAR UNDERWEAR. A leotard is like a bathing suit.

• Dancers needing undergarment support must wear items that are not visible with their costumes. We recommend the following items or something similar:

• Capezio bra with clear back strap
• Capezio low back camisole leotard
• Capezio convertible bra with clear back strap

• Write dancer's name inside the costumes, shoes and tights. EVERYTHING!

• Dress Rehearsals may be video taped. During dress rehearsal dancers must look exactly the way they will look in performance. Hair must be neatly tied or braided in a bun, wear proper tights, costumes and ballet slippers, no nail polish or jewelry.

• The code to take the mandatory Pop Quiz is "UMBRELLA".

• Some costumes are yours to keep and some get returned back to the studio. We will let you know which costumes need to be returned.

Q: What about hair and accessories?

• For rehearsals AND performances hair must be neatly tied or braided back, close to the head (in a bun for ballet dancers). No decorative accessories. No beads. Short hair pulled back away from the face.

• If you need tips on how to make a ballet bun please let us know.

• No nail polish, nail tips, or jewelry anywhere AT ALL!

• Bun help will be available at for $10 (cash) click here to RSVP.
