Upper-Level Rehearsal Fees
Beginning at Level 3, dancers who participate in our productions have an expanded rehearsal and performance experience. In addition to their regular class choreography, they may learn additional pieces, attend weekend rehearsals, and perform multiple times during production week.
Much of this rehearsal time functions like additional class time. The flat rehearsal fee covers only a portion of the added rehearsal and instruction students receive throughout the semester.
- Level 3+ dance students: $40 per participating student each semester
- Aerial students cast in lead or featured roles: $50 per participating student each semester
The aerial fee reflects the specialized instruction, equipment, rigging, mats, and insurance required for additional aerial rehearsals.
The fee is charged once per student each semester, regardless of the number of classes taken or additional roles assigned. Participation is encouraged but not required, and payment of the fee does not guarantee a featured role.
