CastinG
Thank you for everyone who auditioned for our upcoming production of The Nutcracker. It was a fantastic audition. We are so lucky to have such dedicated and talented dancers in the Antelope Valley!
Casting is at the discretion of the Artistic Director of the Antelope Valley Ballet.
· It is strongly recommended that dancers who are cast take at least 1 ballet class per week. It is critical to work on and improve your ballet technique.
If you wish to decline a role you must do so by message via email to antelopevalleyballet@gmail.com prior to the first rehearsal.
All company members may understudy any role. Others who would like to understudy must first receive permission to do so.
All dancers are permited 2 absences. Absences due to illnes or dance performance are excused.
Understudies ~ are very important! If you are cast as an understudy please attend rehearsals and learn the role! We use quite a few understudies for various reasons. While I cannot guarantee that you will perform, it is more likely than not that you will!
· All studio rehearsals are at Dance Magic studios in Lancaster, CA. Stage/dress rehearsals and performances are at LPAC.
· Tickets are currently on sale now at the Lancaster Performing Arts Center.
