UPDATED FRIDAY 14TH MARCH 

In a change to original plans, this year we will be running one big show for Community dance groups from around Rutland taking place on Sunday 22nd March! Please see timings and group involved below…

Event Details 

SHOW – 6pm 

RYDA groups will be performing in the community show as follows:-

• Step 2 It, Advanced street dance (16+), RYDA Small Stars, RYDA All Stars, Adults Street Dance, Adults Contemporary, Dad’s That Dance, Adults Combined Dance

Times for Rehearsal

The dress rehearsal will be as follows:

Rehearsal – Sunday 22nd March – 10-2pm

During this time, each group will have the opportunity to perform their piece on stage and discuss with the lighting and sound technicians any specific arrangements they wish for their performance.

Itinerary

On arrival to the theatre, all dancers and staff are to sit in the audience. Each group will then perform their dance. Whilst a group is performing, all other schools will remain in the audience so they have the opportunity to view the performances.

Once all groups have completed their pieces, the finale will be organised (if appropriate) that involves all performers. On completion of this, if we have time, we will do a final run through of the show so performers can practice moving from their changing room to the stage etc.

Transport & Drop off/Collection Procedures

All dancers 16 and under will meet a chaperone from RYDA at our meeting point – outside the old Barclays Bank at the top of Silver Lane on Broad Street. Drop off for rehearsal and collection following the performance will be at this same location.

For the rehearsal you will need to arrive at 10am and will stay until the end of the rehearsal at 2pm!

Dancers should then return to the theatre for 5.15pm to get show ready! Again under 16’s will meet chaperones at the meeting place above.

Performers License

We are required by law to apply for a performers licence for this event for anyone aged under 16. We have to provide the correct number of children and their ages who will be attending and what Local Authority they live in. The purpose of the licence is to ensure children’s safety as there is alcohol on sale at the event and to confirm children are not being paid to perform. The relevant local authority will hold this information on record and will not share this with third parties.

Costumes

Please go to www.rutlanddance.co.uk/spotlight-costumes where information will be posted as soon as possible. Here you will be able to check what your son/daughter will need to wear for costume.  Where there is a costume fee, this should be transferred to the RYDA account.
