Due to the cost of producing such a show, each dancer will be required to pay a $50 production fee. This fee is used directly to offset the cost of costumes, theatre rental, extra rehearsal time and technical elements of the production. The production fee can be paid in two installments. All payments must be paid in full by October 15. Students enrolled in more than one ballet class who would like to perform in the production with each class, may do so at a rate of $35 per additional class (to cover the cost of costumes). *While normally this fee is non-refundable, we understand the uncertainty of COVID-19 is still a factor this season. If we have to cancel the Nutcracker, we will assess where we are in the process of preparing for the show and the associated costs that have been incurred in order to issue partial refunds. Refund amounts will be determined by specific class/role based on costuming and rehearsal needs. *
