We will have a full Company Dress Rehearsal Weekend 2/20-2/21 at Lakeaires Elementary School. (3963 Van Dyke St, White Bear Lake, MN 55110) Dress Rehearsal detailed schedule will be available December 2026.

We will be using WBDC/DSP accounts for all Music and Rehearsal Videos. All Level 1 Companies will have their music uploaded after the first night of class.

Rehearsal Videos will be uploaded for classes as it makes sense to create them.

All Level 1 & 2 Companies, Production, Small Groups and Solo/Duets/Trios will participate in WBDC picture week with all of WBDC’s recreational classes. Our photoweek is 4/5-4/10. We are utilizing a new photography company this season. A detailed schedule and more information will be available early 2027.

The week before dress rehearsal/performance/competition and any mandatory scheduled rehearsals/technique classes including Nationals if applicable, are just that, mandatory. Failure to attend rehearsal or class be it for cleaning, choreography, or technique, may result in removal from part or whole of choreography or performance. School graded events should be discussed with WBDC staff ahead of time for exception. There will be no refunds for competition entries.

Any company dancers, Level 1 or 2, will have an adjusted schedule the weeks leading up to Dress Rehearsal and/or competition weekends. We often have to change times/days to accommodate rehearsal schedules for those that have their weekly classes during the various events. Full updated schedules are now available in DSP. Dancers will be required to be at all rehearsals.

All girls will be doing a sleek low bun (no bun form) which is even with the bottom of the hairline and with a clear center part that goes from front hairline to the top middle of head even with ears this season.

All boys must have a clean cut/current haircut without it being in their face.

Please keep this in mind when adding multiple layers and scheduling extreme haircuts.

All boys must have a clean cut/current haircut without it being in their face.

Pink, blue, green, etc. are really awesome colors to accent your hair, BUT they can’t show onstage.

All girls will be utilizing the regular crystal competition earrings available in pierced or clip. There cannot be any other jewelry worn - multiple earrings, nose piercings, naval piercings, etc.

Dancers wishing to have a manicure or artificial nails during the competition/performance season must choose a natural French manicure without any extra embellishments (rhinestones, stripes, designs or colors). Please be mindful of the length/shape of artificial nails. With any partnering, especially contemporary choreography, please be sure the nail length/shape is comfortable for the rest of your dancer’s company.

Dancers must be free of tattoos, temporary or otherwise. Any older dancer who does have a tattoo of any kind must completely cover it with stage makeup. Please utilize the professional-level makeup specifically meant to cover tattoos and not bandages.

WBDC will have normally scheduled Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday Level 1 Company classes. Saturday, October 17th - Turns & Leaps Technique classes, Acro classes and Production are canceled.

WBDC presents “WBDC Goes Wicked” 2027! All details available early 2027.

We anticipate Marketfest to be 6/17 and Manitou Days Parade 6/18. We are at Nationals through 6/17. There is a possibility the dates of Marketfest are moving slightly due to road construction. So we will hope adjusted dates work better for WBDC otherwise we will see if we can move our performance date to the second week of Marketfest 6/24. If the Manitou Days parade stays 6/18 then we will be opting out of the parade for 2027. If it is a different weekend then we will be involved. We will confirm with all company dancers as the community makes their choices and we see what fits into the June WBDC schedule!
