Casting  All dancers will be cast to their best advantage. Role assignments will not become permanent until the dancer has been given a chance to try other roles (subject to the Director's decision). Partial casting will be posted a week before rehearsals commence. All understudies are required to learn the role and be present at all rehearsals.

Rehearsal  Rehearsals will be scheduled on SATURDAYS and/or SUNDAYS beginning Early October and will continue until the performances. Special rehearsals may be called if the need arises. Typically, rehearsals on Saturdays are reserved for 1st Act Party Scene, Battle Scene and children's variations such as Chinese Dolls, Buffoons and Angels.  Sunday rehearsals are typically for adult and teen dancers in 2nd Act Variations and 1st Act Snow scene.  However always pay attention to the ongoing rehearsal schedule postings for your planning purposes.

Absences  Dancers will be allowed one (1) absence for whatever reason. Inexcusable absences after then will be a cause for replacement of the role.
