The Classic Nutcracker 2023

Thank you to everyone who auditioned for this seasons production of The Classic Nutcracker. We had 98 people audition for this seasons production! We are blown away by the talent in this area and we thank everyone for taking the time to audition.

Please note we are unable to take everyone who auditioned. There are many deciding factors when it comes to casting, including costumes available, if a dancer showed us they could perform, and their training and technique. If you were not casted, continue to work hard in your classes and we will see you at our next audition for Alice in Wonderland in January 2024. We also hope you come see this season's production of The Classic Nutcracker.

Costume Fitting

For those of you who see your name on this list, you have a mandatory costume fitting with costume designer Ms. Suzanne Spiese on:

Saturday, September 30

Gasper's School of Dance - Downtown Studio

This is VERY important as she needs to see how costumes fit not only and individual dancer, but how it looks in a group, and she often swaps costumes as she sees what fits.

Arrive to your scheduled time slot at least 10 minutes early (so you are on time).
Females please wear:
- nude, white or black leotard.
- Pink or skin tone tights,
- Pink or skin tone ballet slippers.
- Hair pulled back in a ballet bun
