Frequently asked questions
We want to be careful not to take up too much of our little dancers’ class time with rehearsals for a performance. Often, when classes become too focused on preparing for a recital, they lose touch with the core content of their curriculum and unfortunately, the attention and interest of their students.
We really believe that our Bravo Bash performance opportunity strikes the perfect balance and offers students a low-stress yet exciting and lovely chance to take to the stage!
All rehearsals leading up to the performance will happen for a few minutes in each of your child’s regularly scheduled classes. Our goal is that students are familiar with the music and choreography, but we do not expect any dancer to memorize the routine to perform on their own. At least one Tutu Teacher will be on stage to demonstrate so children can focus on the joy of performing, and not the memorization of a routine.
Additionally, rehearsal videos are available closer to the show for optional at-home practice.
All students who are actively enrolled in our Tutu Toddlers, Exploring Ballet, and Primary Ballet Prep divisions are invited to perform.
Bravo Bash is Tutu School’s way of giving our dancers a low stress and super fun introduction to performing on stage. While participation is not required, we highly encourage it! Students get the opportunity to learn a ~5 minute dance along with their classmates during their weekly class. It is this dance that they will perform collectively on stage (along with their Tutu Teachers on stage with them) + each dancer gets their own solo moment as well!
Each Bravo Bash showtime is between 20-30 minutes and includes 4-5 dances. The perfect length of time for our little dancers and their families alike! Dancers sit with their families in the auditorium until their class is called directly up to the stage. Once their dance is complete, they make their way right back to their guests. When not performing on stage, our dancers get to practice being audience members for the other 3-4 dances in their showtime.
Performers also receive a portrait opportunity in costume on the day of the show + a performance gift upon completing their performance to celebrate their hard work!
