PRODUCTION DETAILS
REHEARSAL HOURS will depend on roles. Some roles might only require rehearsals once per week for an hour or so, while others require several times per week. We will do our best to work with conflicts. The times we have set for rehearsal hours DOES NOT mean anyone will have to be there during all that time. It just means rehearsal times will fall somewhere in the time frame of Mon. - Thur 5:00-9:00, Friday 4:00-7:00 and possibly Sunday August 1st.
REQUIREMENTS:
1. Dancers must be at least 7 years old by June 1st.
2. Dancers must also be enrolled in one summer ballet class. These classes will include show choreography as well technique building.
3. There is a $55 production fee due on the first day of rehearsal. This fee includes rehearsals, costume rental, and performance experience. This fee does not include tickets to the performance. (Ticket information will be sent out by the time rehearsals begin.)
4. Dancers must be available Aug. 6th-8th for performances.
5. Dancers will need to provide their own tights, ballet shoes, and black dance pants for boys. Dancers may be asked to use other items that they already own to help with costuming.
OTHER THINGS TO KNOW:
1. We will continue with all of our Covid-19 safety protocols. Any updates or changes will be announced and updated on our website.
2. Middle School & High School auditions are happening at the same time as our X-Tension Dance Company Auditions. You can audition for both if you like! There are additional requirements for X-Tension auditions. See the X-Tension page for that info.
3. We are very excited to tell our version of this story!
4. Roles are not necessarily gender specific. We are open to making changes depending on who auditions.
