Dance Festival – Final Arrangements Letter (Dance Club pupils only)

13th March 2025

North Somerset School’s Dance Festival – Tuesday 25th March

Dear Parents/Carers,
On the day of the Dance Festival, the children will be attending the Playhouse Theatre for a full, dress rehearsal. We are providing coach travel to the Playhouse from school, leaving at 11:30am for the start of the rehearsal at 12:00pm. Rehearsals will finish at approximately 3:00pm and children will need to be collected from the foyer of the Playhouse Theatre at this time. If the adult collecting has changed since submitting the permission form please inform the office team asap.
On the evening, please drop your child off at the back entrance of the Playhouse Theatre at 6:00pm prompt; the doors will be closed at 6:10pm so please do not be late. The show usually ends around 9:00pm.

Costume Arrangements
Children should bring black leggings, a black t-shirt and preferably white trainers if they have them. If your child has a Denim Jacket and a coloured skirt, we would also like them to wear these. Please do not buy these items especially as if you do not have them, they will be provided, please let Mrs Giblett know as soon as possible so we can arrange this. These items should be brought into school in a named bag for Dance Club on Thursday 20th March, we will keep these in school and take them to the Playhouse Theatre on your child’s behalf.

Make-up is optional but if applied this should be done prior to arriving at the Playhouse Theatre. No make-up is to be brought to the venue please. Please can the girls bring hairbands and hairspray as we will be styling their hair during the rehearsal.

During the evening the children will need a small snack (no chocolate please) and a water bottle (water only please). The children will be within a dressing room in between their dance performances and will therefore need something to keep them occupied such as a book to read, colouring book and pencils, or card game. No electronic devices or mobile phones please.
The Dance Festival is a major event in the school’s calendar and a huge achievement for the children to take part in; it takes a lot of confidence to participate in events such as these, and we are always very proud of those that take part.

We hope you are able to come along and support your child in the audience.

With regards
Mrs Giblett
Class teacher
