Nutcracker Children's Ensemble
Thank you to all of those who auditioned. The Children’s Ensemble for 2024 has now been cast.
Royal Winnipeg Ballet are looking for dancers between the ages of 7 and 15 years (as of December 31, 2024) to audition for our 2024 production of Nutcracker performing in Victoria at the Royal Theatre on November 29, 30 and December 1, 2024.
Auditioning dancers must be between 3’8″ and 5’6″ in height. We regret that we are unable to allow for any exceptions to the age or height requirements. All auditioning dancers will be required to bring a photo on the day to attach to their registration.
Schedule
Successful dancers will be selected by a Royal Winnipeg Ballet artist via the audition process and receive weekly professional training (some roles begin rehearsing Sep. 15) culminating with on-stage rehearsals and performances (November 25 through December 1).
There is an audition fee of $25 and, for those selected, a participation fee of $60.
Attendance at all rehearsals is mandatory.
* Rehearsal schedule is subject to change
