2026 NUTCRACKER INFORMATION

Audition Form

Please turn your audition form into the front desk or email it to ballet@DiamondDanceWorks.com prior to the audition date. The audition fee is $25 per dancer. Dancers enrolled in the Diamond Conservatory of Ballet must attend the audition for final casting.

The Nutcracker participation fee is $200 per dancer. This fee includes all dancer rehearsals and choreography as well as dancer costume rental for the show and is due August 21st. All costumes are turned back into DDW after the show. The show IS being professionally filmed this season and a $30 media fee is due on August 21st. There will only be video for this performance. Both the particpation fee and media fee will be automatically charged to the card on file on 8/21 unless otherwise paid before.

We will be having TWO performances on November 21st TBD. Dancers should not audition unless they are capable of performing in BOTH shows, as it will be a long day. All dancers cast will be cast in both performances. Lead roles, as well other roles as needed, may be double cast (meaning a different dancer per role is cast for each show).

Performances will take place at Cactus Shadows at 11:00am and 2:00pm, with a mandatory dress rehearsal on November 20th at DDW.

***Tentative Saturday Rehearsals are 9/19, 10/3, 10/17, 11/7, 11/14. Time TBD after auditions
