Mandatory rehearsal and fitting dates 🤩

No, you can’t put your Nutcrackers out yet… but you can go ahead and save these dates! 🤩🩰

We’re sharing these well in advance so families can plan vacations, events and all the things ahead of time.

Please remember: all dancers are required to attend EVERY rehearsal, so mark those calendars early and plan ahead. We will not be able to excuse any absences other than illness.

We can’t wait for another magical Nutcracker season with our dancers! ✨
