Dancers older than that can go find you in the auditorium. Dancers are welcome to rehearse in all Finale practices, however, it is not required. Please feel free to take photos and videos of your dancer’s dress rehearsal performance(s). Photography and video are discouraged during the Saturday & Sunday performances.
