General Guidelines & Information about Auditioning
Students may audition for walk-on parts beginning at age three. During The Nutcracker auditions, the Artistic Directors are looking for listening skills, musicality, and a desire to dance from the three to five year old. Enthusiasm is a must for these young people. The audition lasts approximately one hour. Some steps from the choreography in The Nutcracker will be given for the dancers to learn and perform in the audition.
Dancers ages six and up will be given a ballet class with a barre, center floor, and steps from The Nutcracker choreography. Ladies should wear black leotards, pink tights, and pink ballet slippers. Ladies thirteen and up should bring pointe shoes. Gentlemen should wear black dance pants, white tee shirts, white socks, and white or black slippers.
All should come prepared to dance. Auditions for dancers ten and under will be approximately one hour in length. One and a half hours is the approximate length of auditions for eleven year olds and above.
