THE PERFORMANCE EXPERIENCE: In this mini holiday showcase, dancers will share the stage with dancers close in age and put on an intimate show that you will remember for years to come. This approximate 20-minute performance will start with an opening number by RCDC pre-professional dancers that will introduce your STAR! Dancers will then perform their Holiday choreography, be presented with a special holiday gift, and wrap up with the finale performance.

Dancer Check-in: Dancers will be given a backstage check-in time. At that assigned time, dancers should arrive in costume and dance shoes, with hair and makeup complete, ready to check-in backstage. Dancers will join RCDC staff backstage to rehearse before their debut.
DANCE CHOREOGRAPHY: Dancers will begin to learn the Holiday choreography in their regularly scheduled classes beginning in late October. No additional rehearsals will be required to perform. A tutorial video will also be distributed in November for dancers wanting additional home practice. On the day of the show, dancers will get a short rehearsal backstage with RCDC staff. During the show, RCDC staff will be present to help & guide them through the choreography so they can perform their best!
ATTIRE/COSTUME: For the performance, all dancers will wear a provided costume. Below are examples of costumes that may be used. Costumes will be age-appropriate, modest and festively fun! Costumes will be ordered after we collect sizes and payments.
