Who Can Participate In All In’s Nutcracker?

We invite all ages to be a part of our Nutcracker!

For our Babies and Tiny Tykes dancers (ages 2-4),  no audition is required. Families will register for their age-appropriate class for the fall season, as well as our Nutcracker. They will learn their choreography during their weekly class. They will attend 1 Saturday rehearsal to practice their dance.

Dancers in Mighty Mini or Kinder Kids classes (ages 4-6) will also not audition. They will learn their choreography during their weekly class. They will be required to attend 4 Saturday rehearsals to practice their dance.

Dancers ages 6+ will participate in auditions on August 1st and will come to weekly Saturday rehearsals leading up to the show.  Auditions are strictly for casting purposes. All who register for auditions will get to participate in the show.

How many shows will my dancer be in?

We plan on doing 2 shows, an afternoon and an evening show on December 13th.

What is the date of the shows?

Dress Rehearsal will take place on December 12th and Performances will take place December 13th. Times and additional details to be announced.

How much does it cost to participate?
