Dancers should come to rehearsals on time, prepared to dance. Dancers who miss more than two rehearsals without prior approval will be in danger of being cut from the cast or having a reduced part, at the choreographer’s discretion. Attendance at all run-throughs and tech rehearsals is mandatory. Dancers will miss school on the day of the performance. We will be as accommodating as we can regarding missed rehearsals due to illness.

Scheduling conflicts (previously scheduled events) should be included on the audition form. Emergency circumstances will be considered when determining fulfillment of attendance requirements.

Principal roles in the ballet will be filled by professional dancers from International Ballet Stars and Classical Arts Entertainment. For most children’s roles, weekly rehearsal time will decrease after choreography is learned. Ages are an approximate guide. Placement is based on age, experience, height, etc.

Roles Available:
Dream Keepers (ages 13+)
Peasants (ages 9-13)
Butterflies (ages 5-13)
Cards (ages 9+)
