Calling all student dancers.
Auditions are being held to perform side-by-side with the professional company in Moscow Ballet’s Great Russian Nutcracker in Vancouver.
The selected children will perform in the Great Russian Nutcracker Nov. 13 at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre.
Moscow Ballet soloist and audition director Olena Nalyvaiko will conduct auditions on Tuesday, Oct. 4 at 5 p.m. at Perform Art Studios, located at Lonsdale Quay Market, #224- 123 Carrie Cates Court, in North Vancouver.
All student dancers ages 7 to 17 years, who have at least one year of ballet training, are welcome to audition for ancillary roles such as Party Children, Mice, Snowflakes, Angels and more.
The auditions are free, but there may be a casting fee if the student is chosen.
For 24 years, Moscow Ballet’s “Dance with Us” program has been bringing 6,000 student dancers on stage annually to perform in a professional environment – a once in a lifetime experience for many children.
