Rehearsal Dates - NUTCRACKER
The rehearsal is an integral part of the Performance Preparation. Without time to rehearse students may feel lost or unprepared. Giving them this time allows students to see and become familiar with the cast members, venue, and stage!
​
All rehearsals will be closed to families so please sign your little one in and feel free to find a local coffee shop for some downtime before signing out.
​
Sign-out times have been estimated. We will do our very best to run to our tight schedule however sometimes we encounter the unexpected and do run over time.
Female Ballet Students: Pink Ballet Shoes
Male Ballet Students: Black Ballet Shoes
All Contemporary Students: Turning Shoes
All Lyrical Students: Turning Shoes
They should look 'as new' so they may need a clean the night before the show!​
Make up must be done prior to arrival.
PLEASE DO NOT PACK MAKEUP FOR CHILDREN UNDER 8.
Last year students decided to play with their make up back stage and many went home with unuseable products.
To make this event as smooth and stress-free as possible: All costumes will be kept at the venue.
Students will pick up their costumes upon sign-in on show day.
Our musical finale is part of the show. Ballet, Lyrical and Contemporary students will not require a separate outfit for the finale, they will wear the last costume they performed in.
All girls are required to wear tights on stage. These are not provided with the costume and must be bought prior to the big night!
All female students need: Pink Ballet Tights
