As we approach the culmination of our year of dance, and
the recital gets ever closer, we need to remind ourselves
that it takes a tremendous amount of effort and a good
dose of humor to produce a show. FAIR WARNING: Dress
Rehearsal may appear to be out of control periodically.
We assure you, this is not the case. For many of our little
dancers, this is their very first time on a large professional
stage under those big bright lights as we have at KEAN
UNIVERSITY. It can be daunting. If WE stay calm and
assured, the children will as well. They will learn they can
do it! And, if they don’t do it - EVERYTHING is a learning
experience! We are so proud of our dancers!!
Here’s to Recital 2013! Break a leg…!

DRESS REHEARSAL
You will receive a schedule for dress rehearsal
with your tickets. Upon arrival to the theater,
check in with a MDC staff member with a

rehearsed. You may have your picture taken
with the photographer when you are not needed
on stage. If you are in one number please sit in
the auditorium with your class until you are
called on stage. If you are in Musical Theatre or
