Nutcracker camps allow for daily technique practice and an early learning of Nutracker dances for the December performance. Rehearsals are limited in the fall and starting in the summer allows for a more enjoyable and higher quality performance in December.
Roles will be cast following an audition on September 15th 2024. Levels pre-ballet through level 2 are cast automatically without an audition and every dancer gets a role.
While summer participation is not required to dance in Nutcracker, it may influence casting as commitment is valued in addition to ability.
