  1. Prior to audition day, visit one of the links below to access Class Manager. Current students can login and any new students can register (new students) and then enroll in Nutcracker Dancing class or Nutcracker Adult Non Dancing class.
  2. Dancers should arrive on audition day 30 minutes early to finish registration in SC01 and to stretch and be warmed up to audition.  Non-dancing participants do not need to audition, they will be emailed a form in class manger to complete where they can express what roles they are interested in.   
  3. Dancers should come prepared wearing a solid color leotard, pink tights, and pink ballet shoes. Hair should be in a neat bun. Pointe shoes must be worn in the audition at the appropriate time if the dancer expects to be cast in a pointe number.  Participants only need to audition one day; however, students are welcome to come both days.
