Supernumerary Information
REHEARSALS FOR SUPERNUMERARIES BEGIN APRIL 23
What is a Supernumerary? Known as “supers,” extra dancers of the ballet world that enhance and create a believable scene. They will enjoy extra stage time participating in the “big show” and delight in the aspect of appearing with the advanced dancers.
Who is chosen to participate? Dancers are chosen based on a number of factors including the following: size, dance ability, maturity, as well as ability to follow instruction and remain focused. As a school, our students are studying a performance art; this is an excellent opportunity for our younger dancers to experience “stage time”.
What is the rehearsal commitment? Acceptance of this role involves rehearsal commitment from dancers and parents. All rehearsals, including choreography, blocking, and dress are MANDATORY with the only exception being an emergency or illness, when notified IN ADVANCE of the rehearsal. Our Supers are young dancers learning to work together. Any absence is detrimental to the group; therefore, not allowed and will result in removal from the part with no refund.

JUNE PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
Ballet 3, Ballet 4, Ballet 5, Studio Prep, Company, and Supernumeraries
Attendance:
Thank you for making every effort to bring your child to each class. It is difficult for dancers to pick up combinations when the rest of
the class already knows the steps. Our production is a team effort and it is difficult to work on placement when dancers are missing. We appreciate your making dance a priority as we approach the performance!
Rehearsals & Class Time:
Rehearsals preparing for our show are coming along beautifully and the dancers are so excited! Although most of the
performers are feeling confident and beautiful, there may be a few that are feeling anxious. Please reassure them, we
still have plenty of time to practice. The performance should be a rewarding experience for your dancer and being
confident in their dance will insure this. Reviewing the steps in their heads is very effective in remembering the
sequence. Please be prepared for extra rehearsals a few days before the show. Things will be hectic, tight, and require
maximum cooperation from everyone. With your help, the performance will prove to be one of the most fulfilling
days of your young dancer’s life.
