Creative Arts dance students enrolled in classical ballet classes are able to participate in the annual Excerpts from The Nutcracker performances. Rehearsals for The Nutcracker begin September 24, 2025. Rehearsal times will be scheduled on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Please note, Nutcracker rehearsals will be scheduled around participating students’ dance class schedules so that students do not have to choose between classes and participating in The Nutcracker. Students can participate in all of their dance curriculum classes as well as The Nutcracker. Specific rehearsal times on Wednesdays and Saturdays will be emailed to families 1-3 weeks before rehearsals. Registration for 2025 Excerpts from The Nutcracker closes September 13, 2025. Students enrolled in Ballet 2A Level or above are invited to participate in Excerpts from The Nutcracker. The tuition fee per student is $25. Dance students must commit to attending all rehearsals and performances. For more details regarding the rehearsal and performance schedule, please take a look at the 2025-26 Creative Arts Dance Academy calendar.
