                               DANCE GALLERY 2025 RECITAL FINALE

                         INSTRUCTIONS AND REHEARSAL SCHEDULE

 

About: The “Finale” is the last dance number in the Recital and our way of saying farewell to the audience and celebrating all our accomplishments. Participation in the “Finale” is mandatory for all dancers. On the day of the Recital, all dancers are required to stay for the entire performance and perform in the Finale. We have found that when a dancer leaves after they perform, so do their guests in the audience, often leaving a practically empty auditorium by the time the dancers in the second act perform. A few hours once a year should not be a lot to ask so that all the dancers get the applause and recognition they deserve.

 

THEME: The theme will be some of our favorite Finales of the past 50 years

 

COSTUME: Dancers will need a plain, black, short sleeve t-shirt, black dance shorts, black tights and any kind of black dance shoes. As we assign dancers to different Finale themes, they may need additional items such as pajamas, old clothes, hats, etc. These will be things you will probably already have at home. If not, we will provide them at a minimum cost to you. 

 

Rehearsals: We have scheduled 9 rehearsals plus a mandatory rehearsal on June 12. Rehearsals are at various times to accommodate everyone’s busy schedules. You should try to attend at least 5 rehearsals plus the mandatory rehearsal on Thursday, June 12. You can come to as many rehearsals as you want to but must attend a minimum of 5. A rehearsal schedule is provided below.

 

There is also an “Irish Dance Finale”. A rehearsal schedule is provided below. All Irish Dance Finale

Rehearsals either precede or follow a Recital Finale rehearsal. Additional information and instructions will be provided in a separate notice for all Irish dancers.
