Like athletes, dancers need to warm up and practice their routines before performing in front of an audience. Allowing the dancers to practice in the same location that they will perform in let’s them find their groove more efficiently and helps them put on a better performance.
Of the course the dancers will have extensively rehearsed and prepared whatever act they plan to perform at your event, but they have likely spent that time rehearsing in a space that looks or feels much different than the performance space you are providing them with. These changes will usually amount to changes in the performance, all of which dancers will want to sort out before taking the floor in front of your guests.
Typically, dancers will want to arrive at the venue a few hours before their performance or before guests arrive to get comfortable with the performance space. Sometimes though, dancers may request access to the space days in advance of the event, depending on how extensive their act is. You can help these performers put on their best show, thereby impressing and entertaining your guests, by preparing the space and making it accessible to them.
If you promised dancers that any equipment would be present or adjustments would be made to the performance for the day of the event, be sure to have these things in place for the rehearsal. These specifics were requested for a reason and rehearsing without them could cause glitches in the actual performance.
Take note of when the dancers are arriving to rehearse and make sure that the venue setup will be complete before that time, especially for the day of the event. It will do your performers no good to show up for rehearsal if there are furniture, decorations, or event staff loitering in their performance space. What’s worse, failing to have everything in place could throw off the event schedule before the event even begins. The rehearsal time is usually only one hour or less, so block that hour off for the dancers only and make any last minute adjustments to the event space after their rehearsal time has ended.
It is courteous of you as the event planner or host to allot time and accommodations for the dancers’ rehearsal well in advance of the event date, even if the dancers or talent agency has not yet mentioned rehearsal. This will show them that you are professional, have thought through the details, and are welcoming of them to your event.
