UNDERSTANDING YOUR DANCER'S ROLE
A complete cast list will be posted on the studio's bulletin board. Depending on your dancer's level, they have been assigned a role to play in the performance. All roles take into account the dancer's age and ability level, with the intent to encourage a love of performance and dance. If you have specific questions regarding your dancer's level or role, please email our school manager.
