One week down, two more to go! Friday, today is one of the most important days to my studio. Tonight is the biggest dress rehearsal ever! The dress rehearsal starts at 5:30pm till whenever my teachers decide we do not need to rehearse any more. Since I am a teacher’s assistant at my studio, I have to be there at 5:00. It will seem like such a long night!
A full dress rehearsal means you are required to be in full costumes, hair done, make-up, and shoes. My teacher’s are strict about disobeying rules. They “lecture” us on everything, like the way they want things to look, and if we choose not to obey, we pay the consequence. Like if we do not have our hair done correctly, or if we are not wearing the right pair of tights. Simple, little things you can get into trouble for. Not just the dancer that disobeys, but the whole team gets punished. Their favorite motto is “There’s no I in team.”
This year, I am competing in five dances so I have to be in full dress and makeup for that. We have fifteen to twenty minutes to rehearse. Each dancer gets in full dress and gets to go on a stage to practice our routines. We go on stage so that we are able to space out our dances and not be so scrunched up and so we know what we are doing when go to compete in a week at the real competition.

Sounds pretty strict, I'm not good with being told what to do and how to do something constantly, so props to you.
ReplyDeleteI was in Marching band in High School. Our uniforms had to be perfect. We had to wear black shirts and black socks which actually made a big difference.
