About Our Spring Performance

    At the end of each school year, The Duluth School of Ballet produces a series of Spring Performances, featuring an original ballet created by Peter Garick. All students are eligible to participate in the performance.

There are no additional fees charged for the performances. All related costs are included in the tuition. Each student gets 5 free tickets for each performance in which they appear.

While we generally give 4 performances, most students are only in one. Each performance is identical, with differnt classes performing the roles.

The Duluth School of Ballet's 2009 Spring Performances will be held Saturday, May 30, and Sunday, May 31 at the Gwinnett Performing Arts Center, which is part of the Gwinnett Civic Center complex.

Performance times are 2:00 and 6:00 on both days.

STUDIO REHEARSALS

    are held at the studio the week after our regular classes finish for the year. These rehearsals, which constitute a full run-through in costume and makeup, generally start around 5:30 PM and finish about 8:00 PM. Each class has a specific time when they have to be here. You can expect to be here for about 45 minutes. It is during the Studio Rehearsals that we take our class photographs. Studio rehearsals are not mandatory.

DRESS REHEARSALS

    are held at the Gwinnett Performing Arts Center. Full costumes and makeup are required. There is one Dress Rehearsal for each of the four scheduled performances. The Dress Rehearsals, scheduled for Tuesday through Friday, are held in the early evenings, starting at 5:30. As with the Studio Rehearsals, each class has a specific time when they have to be at the theatre.

You can expect to spend about 45 minutes to an hour at the Dress Rehearsal. Dress Rehearsals are mandatory. Dancers who do not attend their Dress Rehearsal, no matter the reason, are not allowed to perform. No exceptions are made.

Rehearsal and performance schedules will be published in detail this November in our online newsletter.
