What is the purpose of dance rehearsal?

The purpose of dance rehearsal is to prepare dancers and choreographers for a performance. It is an opportunity to practice the routine, refine technique, and work on timing, precision, and coordination. During rehearsals, dancers can receive feedback from the choreographer and make necessary adjustments to the choreography. Rehearsals also serve as a time to work on the staging of the dance, including lighting and sound cues, and to build the dancers' confidence and performance skills.
