Director's Note

The CCM Preparatory Dance Program would like to thank our amazing faculty, administrators, and Dean for giving our students such a wonderful year of classes and performances. After two long years we have watched our students work and improve with inspiring dedication to this art form. We will be saying goodbye to five seniors this year, but as always we wish them an incredible journey on their next chapter. We would also like to thank Ann Choe (Our CCM Fairy Godmother) for her countless hours of support to our dancers and faculty. I truly don't know how I would have survived this year without her to lean on. Thank you to our parents for supporting your children in their passion for dance. To Gwen Thoroughman, Bay Warren, Sigrid Aline Guemez and Jeff Corcoran, we appreciate all that you have done this year to keep our program growing.

On a personal note as my first year as the Director of Prep Dance comes to a close, thank you for showing me patience and grace while I have navigated this new position. I can't wait to see our program grow and flourish in the coming years.

Sincerely, 
Tricia Sundbeck

COVID Careful

UC has updated its indoor masking policy to align with the CDC's recommendations for masking. Beginning on Saturday, March 12, all masking restrictions will be eliminated in all CCM spaces, so long as rates of hospitalization and transmissibility remain in the low-to-medium zones. This means masking will no longer be required in classrooms, rehearsals, performances, etc. for everyone — students, faculty, staff, campus visitors and audience members. Members of our community who prefer to continue to wear a mask when indoors or in close proximity with others for personal safety should continue to do so. Please continue to be sensitive and respectful to the needs of others as we work through this transition. CCM performance venues are currently reduced to 50% capacity. Additional measures may be in place as conditions develop based on guidance from the CDC and UC's physician-led COVID response team. Visit the UC Public Health website and CCM's COVID-19 website for additional information and updates.

House Policies

The House Manager has been instructed to minimize the disturbance to patrons already seated when accommodating latecomers. The director and producer of each production select times that are least likely to interrupt the performance, and latecomers will be seated only during these times. Latecomers who miss these opportunities will not be admitted until intermission. Children under the age of 6 will not be admitted.

The video or audio recording of performances is prohibited.

The use of cameras, with or without flashes, recording devices, cellular phones and other electronic devices inside the theater is prohibited. Please leave them with the House Manager.
