Things to remember before you audition:  It is a magical experience to perform in our nutcracker creating lasting memories. Casting is non-negotiable. By auditioning families and students agree to perform the role(s) cast. Performing in the Nutcracker is a significant commitment for students and their families. For parents it involves bringing students to all rehearsals and performances. Only 1 missed rehearsal will be permitted (with written excuse and advanced notice). All dancers must be on time for all rehearsals and performances. Promptness in picking up your children will be greatly appreciated.

For students it involves learning and memorizing all required choreography.
