Current Ballet Production Rehearsal Schedule
Our 2023 winter ballet production will be "The Nutcracker Ballet"!
All dancers from a role are called during that rehearsal time, unless otherwise noted. All Understudies need to come to rehearsals for both their role and the role they are understudying.
Please make sure that you list all potential conflicts on your audition form so that I can cast your dancer appropriately. Your dancer is required to be at all listed rehearsal times, unless you declared them as a conflict on your audition form!
