LDA SPRING CONCERT: IMPORTANT INFORMATION TO NOTE:

  • Please make note of the MANDATORY rehearsals for your dancer. Dancers who do not attend Mandatory rehearsals will NOT be allowed to perform. This is an LDA rule. We prefer to not turn dancers away from performances but will if necessary. 
  • Be on time for rehearsals and performance. All dancers must arrive “stage ready”.  Hair must be in a secure neat performance bun with no ornaments. No earrings are to be worn. If earrings cannot be removed, you may place a small band-aid over earrings. No nail polish. Please have your dancer arrive in leotard and tights under clothing.
  • Drop off at SUNY Purchase: When you bring your child to the theater for rehearsal or performance, you will be asked to sign your child in at the check in desk located at the top of the backstage area. Our capable rehearsal assistants will escort your child to their dressing room. Your dancer should be picked up at the same location at the end of rehearsal or intermission. If you are leaving your child for the entire show, please indicate this at check-in. Please also indicate on the sign-in sheet the name of the person that will be picking up your child.
  • All parents will remain upstairs and are welcome to watch their dancer during the dress rehearsal. Only dancers and those working in a production capacity on behalf of the Academy or WBC are to be backstage. The 2019 contract with SUNY PAC has specified that because the Academy is comprised of children 18 years of age and below, all volunteers must be cleared as not present on the New York Sex Offenders Registry AND the National Sex Offender Public Registry. Each of our volunteers have been cross referenced with both registries and only the authorized volunteers are allowed backstage. Your child will be well supervised. We want to give your dancer a well-rounded, safe, calming, professional experience backstage.
  • If you're delayed for any reason, here are the numbers to call:
