General Information about the Performance Series at dance 101!
- Our Fall 2023 show is currently in rehearsals!
- The next Performance Series opportunity (Spring 2024) will open for registration in December.
- Choreographers will be announced ~December 8th and registration begins on December 15th.
- Rehearsals begin in January, after the new year holiday.
- No audition required. However, we do require that you commit to having this experience and prioritize attending rehearsals.
- Show Choreographers are teachers on faculty at dance 101.
- We strongly suggest you become familiar with the Choreographer’s work prior to signing up. This means: take their classes! Learn their style and taste in music.
- During registration week, show choreographers will teach a segment of their show choreography in their classes. This gives you the opportunity to be doubly sure of your committment… because there are no refunds!
- Registration will close once a piece hits its capacity or by the first rehearsal, whichever happens first.
PRO TIP: Make sure you’ve opted into our weekly newsletter (The 101) to be the most informed regarding piece availability as well as studio happenings. Never miss a beat!

A WORD ABOUT REHEARSALS:
*Rehearsal Etiquette:
- Plan to arrive 15 minutes early so you can warm up and be ready to maximize every minute of your rehearsal.
- Expect to be given practice homework every week!
- Do your homework. Very important! Rehearsals are not for reviewing, they are for progressing.
- For maximum stage time, attend all rehearsals. You can not be inserted into a formation if you are absent on the day it was set.
- Respect the creative process and decisions your choreographer makes. This is NOT a recital to showcase what you’ve learned. It is an artistic expression of message through movement.. Do not expect a solo (although you might get one if its relevant to the storyline).
- Come to rehearsals prepared and rested and with intention and gratitude.
You are about to have one of the most amazing experiences of your life! Be all in!
