Our version of the Nutcracker has performers from Kindergarten through 12th grade. Dancers audition on the second Saturday of September classes and rehearse weekly. Dancers develop your love of storytelling and performing and have the time of their lives! Roles include styles such as ballet, jazz, hip hop, tap, kick line and lyrical. Nutcracker fees are $125 for the first role and $40 for each additional role. Dancers may not miss more than 2 rehearsals and must be available for all mandatory rehearsals and all performances.
