For all groups competing in the Nanaimo Festival there will be a Beban Park Stage rehearsal on Monday, March 1st. Please check below for your rehearsal time. Students are asked to arrive a minimum of fifteen minutes prior to the start of your stage time. Dancers will have an opportunity to set their routine on the stage only once. Due to the amount of groups, rehearsing on this day, if you are late, we will go on without you. Please try to avoid this, and make every effort to arrive on time.

This rehearsal is mandatory for all students to attend.

Costumes are not required. We expect all dancers to arrive with their dance attire (bodysuits and tights) and hair done up off the face. Please do not come in sweat pants, or jazz pants. You will be asked to take these items off. There will be no parent viewing for this event. We ask that you either drop your child off and pick them up when they are finished, or wait in the lobby area during the rehearsal time.

If you are not receiving your emails from constant contact, please be sure to let us know of any changes in your email address. Be sure that Constant Contact is not blocked. A schedule can be obtained from the office or email tempodanceacademy@shaw.ca and we will send out a new one to you.
