The Nutcracker
Ballet
Each December, CM Dance performs a full-length version of the Nutcracker Ballet featuring multiple styles of dance as Clara and her Nutcracker friend venture through the Land of Sweets.
Auditions are held each September for dancers between the ages of 5 & 18 years of age (dancers under the age of 5 years old can perform in the Nutcracker, but these roles are by invitation only).
- Dancers may be cast in one or multiple roles depending on age, ability, and number of dancers needed for each dance.
- Audition fees are non-refundable and are due on the day of auditions. Approximate fees are as follows (fees are subject to change):
- Non-lead roles: $75
- Lead roles: $100
- A performance contract is also required to be signed on the day of auditions that details the commitment required (Saturday and/or Sunday rehearsals).
