Before registering, please review these important expectations and requirements below — it is critical that we all have a clear and mutual understanding for a successful season. Thank you!* As a parent, I have read everything under the NUTCRACKER tab of the website. As a NEW parent, I have reviewed last year's Tech Week schedule and understand these mandatory rehearsals may run late. I/my dancer will attend ALL mandatory rehearsals and ALL scheduled performances. I/my dancer will be available ALL DAY (Sat, Dec 6) to run Acts One and Two. The director of my/my dancer's ballet studio is aware of my/my dancer's participation in Nutcracker, including all mandatory rehearsals. As a parent, I will read weekly GCB emails to stay informed.
