Participating in the nutcracker
All kindergarten and up dancers will have the option to participate in our annual Nutcracker! Nutcracker dances will be taught to ALL Kindergarten and up dancers in their regular class as part of the curriculum. Those who wish to be a part of THE NUTCRACKER performances must sign up no later than October 19th!
Nutcracker Fee
For those that choose to participate in the Legacy Nutcracker, there is a fee of $50 per dancers, which includes a leotard, tights, and any costume alterations. All costuming and props are provided by the studio.
Nutcracker soloists
In addition to many “corps de ballet” rolls, or group rolls, THE NUTCRACKER contains many “soloist” rolls. 5th Grade and up dancers who wish to try out for a soloist roll (Clara, Nutcracker, Ice fairy, Sugar Plum, etc.) may audition on Sunday, September 15th, 3:30-4:45. Dancers who have completed at least 1 year of Pointe should bring pointe shoes to the audition!
Note: Soloists will be required to attend rehearsals outside of regular class time. Soloist rehearsals will be scheduled around the dancers schedule.
the Nutcracker story
“The Nutcracker” is the story of a young girl, Clara, who is gifted a toy nutcracker at her Christmas party by her eccentric relative, Drosselmeyer. During the night, her nutcracker doll comes to life and, after winning a battle with the mice, takes Clara on a magical adventure to the Sugar Plum Castle, where she meets characters from around the world such as the Sugar Plum Fairy, Arabian dancers, Dew Drop Fairy, Spanish dancers, Russian and Chinese dancers, and more!
