We are very excited about the first, annual Ridge View Holiday Festival!  This will be performance collaboration with Band, Chorus, Dance, Theatre, and Orchestra.  This event will be the Dance I, Dance III, and Dance Technique final exam; therefore, each Ridge View dance student is expected to make themselves available for the following rehearsal and performance dates:

Dress rehearsal and performance are held in the large gym. The rehearsal will begin and end on time. All dancers are required to attend all rehearsals and performance. The rehearsal and performance will be graded, the grades will be averaged, and the average grade will count in  place of the final exam.  A detailed scoring guide will be sent out before the rehearsal week.
