The Nutcracker Ballet

The holidays are approaching, which means it is time to get ready for our annual Nutcracker performance! The performance will be on December 21st at 4:00 pm in the Mountain View High School Auditorium. All ballet classes, Pre Ballet levels and above, are invited to participate. The participation fee is $25 and is not included in the performance package. Fees are due with November tuition. This covers a costume rental and two tickets to the performance. Additional tickets will be available for purchase two weeks prior to the show for $6.00 or $5.00 with a food donation for the Meridian Food Bank. If you are unable to participate, please let the office and your instructor know, so we can make arrangements for the choreography and to remove the fee from your account. We will also be looking for volunteers to help with sewing, props, and day of performance helpers to set up the scenery, stage hands and set take down. Volunteers will be compensated by having the participation fee waived. Please let us know if you have any questions!
Class assignments are as follows:
