THE COMMITMENT 

All dancers participating in The Nutcracker are required to attend every rehearsal. Due to the demands of the performance, and our short rehearsal timeline, it is imperative that dancers are present for their scheduled rehearsal time. Rehearsals will begin on October 15. 

REHEARSAL TIMES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE!
Please do check back before each weekend to ensure that there haven't been slight time changes. While we do not anticipate any significant time changes, please be aware we may need to make adjustments.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR DANCER'S ROLE
A complete cast list has been posted on the studio's bulletin board. Depending on your dancer's level, they have been assigned a role to play in the performance. All roles take into account the dancer's age and ability level, with the intent to encourage a love of performance and dance. Again, all rehearsals are mandatory as we only have a handful of scheduled times set between now and December 2 & 3. If you have specific questions regarding your dancer's level or role, please schedule time to speak to our school manager.
