​

Providing high-quality dance education and performance opportunities to all of our students is the core of our mission. Performing is a valuable learning opportunity and a privilege. It is designed to foster pride in team effort and it is open to any student who meets our age, class level, and attendance requirements. Please prepare your dancer to do their best, have a positive attitude, and encourage them to have the most fun along the way.

 

Our artistic staff is very excited to see your dancer for their audition! For questions, please contact our Rehearsal & Programs Coordinator at rehearsal@evergreencityballet.org.

 

​

Please note: We would like for all the students to have the opportunity to be seen and considered for casting. But this does not guarantee them to be cast in this year’s Nutcracker. Auditions are part of a dancer’s experience and at ECB we are committed to providing our students a safe, fun, and nurturing environment. Casting is at the sole discretion of the artistic staff. The audition process serves to educate our dancers and helps to determine the best parts for each dancer.
