Each year Yarmouth Dance Academy performs a full production of the Christmas classic, The Nutcracker Ballet. There are many roles/dances to be filled, so we offer the Nutcracker Performance Program (NPP). This allows any dancer registered at Yarmouth Dance Academy and is at least 6 by December 31, 2021, the opportunity to audition for roles/dances in the Nutcracker.

 

Participating in a production of this size requires commitment, focus and dedication. Attendance is taken very seriously for the NPP rehearsals, and missed rehearsals will not be tolerated.

 

If you think your dancer would like to audition for Nutcracker 2019 please review the information provided and look for upcoming Audition date.

 

*All registered Performing Ballet dancers will have class repertoire and participate in Nutcracker, but are still eligible to audition for the Nutcracker Performance Program for additional role/dances.
