2016-17Teen VPADC Rehearsal & Event Schedule
UpdatedNovmeber 21, 2016
Teen Dancers, below is your rehearsal schedule. Feel free to highlight your particular rehearsals and mark your calendar! Lots of hard work to be done before the end of the year! We encourage parents to keep us informed, as far in advance as possible, as to any additional conflicts that may arise from this point on. Please remember, unexcused absences and excused absences beyond five, will not be tolerated in the VPADC!
Important Reminders:It is imperative that VPADC Dancers eat a nutritious lunch before Saturday rehearsals. All rehearsals include a 10-minute break. Dancers are encouraged to bring a small, nutritious and quick snack to refuel during breaks (i.e. veggies, fruit,etc). ALSO IMPORTANT: All dancers are required to bring a container with a lid for water and keep it on the sides of the room during rehearsal. Dancers will be encouraged to fill up on break.
