Who can Audition? ANYONE 5 years old and older

• Do they have to belong to RMSA dance studio?
  No, but if they are given a pointe role, they must enroll in ballet and pointe class twice a week at RMSA.
  • Please understand, those enrolled in RMSA ballet classes receive technical training and foundation that the majority of Nutcracker roles/choreography require. Most Nutcracker participants are RMSA dancers so, we strongly encourage taking RMSA ballet classes to enhance Nutcracker participation opportunities.
• Do they have to have dance experience?
  No, there are many character roles for older participants. Younger participants may be awarded a dance role.
  • Please understand, participants in the Nutcracker are not attending a dance class but a rehearsal or practice where the cast will learn steps, formations, and staging in order to perform their roles they were casted into.
