Basic Rehearsal Information

Check the schedule for the times you are required to attend rehearsals and performances, all schedules are updated on the LMBC website each Tuesday at noon. All updates to the schedule will be in purple.  

Lincoln Midwest Ballet requires cast members to attend all rehearsals scheduled for their parts. However, the Artistic Director has discretion to allow for exceptions when a rehearsal coincides with another very serious event (Illness, injury, death of a family member). 

Other than illness or injury the only exception made will be for Company Members competing in a high school dance regional competition. In requesting this one date as an excused absence, the cast member understands that missing a rehearsal is a serious decision with important consequences. It is VERY IMPORTANT not to miss the first rehearsal so that the dancer is able to learn choreography with the group and correct spacing can be set. If you are a high school dance team member who must be absent from a rehearsal, the following must be done:
1. You must email the Executive Director (lincmidballetco@gmail.com) at least 2 weeks prior to the requested date with the date of the miss, and a detailed reason why you it is imperative that you miss rehearsal.
2. The Executive Director will discuss the request with the Artistic Director.
3. The cast member will be notified via email if the request is approved or not approved.

 

Please be aware that:

  • No consideration will be given for absences the weekend prior to the show and during the week of the show. Lied Center rehearsals and performances are mandatory.
  • Vacations, birthday parties or "prior plans" will not be considered for an excused absence. Examples of an extraordinary circumstances are illness, injury, or death of a close family member.
  • Unexcused absences are not allowed and may result in the performer forfeiting his/her role in the show.
  • The performer must sign the contract at the Cast Meeting that indicates that she/he understands the consequence for missing a rehearsal.
  • When you do miss a rehearsal, your understudy will dance the role until you learn your part.
