When being cast in a large production such as this, performers and their parents hold many responsibilities. Listed below is what is expected of each performer, and their parent, as well as general information about City Youth Ballet and this production. It is imperative that you read it carefully BEFORE agreeing to the policies, or completing the audition application, and let us know if you have any questions.
Albemarle Academy of Dance is proud to be the official school of the City Youth Ballet; however, the two organizations are separate. The City Youth Ballet is governed by a Board of Directors with all Directors being voting members of CYB. The CYB artistic staff (artistic director, choreographers, technical directors, etc.) are not voting members of the Board of Directors therefore, their capacity is limited to day-to-day management of rehearsals, and production. The Board of Directors bears ultimate responsibility concerning governance and policy practices. Any questions or concerns regarding all policies must be directed to the board of directors at info@cityyouthballet.com. Do not contact AAD.
Friday, September 20 by 11:00pm - Audition results will be posted on our website
Some rehearsals will begin on Saturday, Sept. 21st - please check the callboard.
It has always been the policy of City Youth Ballet to expect excellent attendance, appropriate attitude, and good behavior in rehearsals and performances. The following consistent expectation policies will allow dancers to maintain the high standards that have always been an integral part of CYB. The Board of Directors reserves the right to remove any dancer, for any reason, from any role or performance, in order to maintain the integrity of the production and other dancers. In such an instance, no money will be refunded.
If you will not be available for all rehearsal and performance dates, please do not audition.
CYB will not keep dancers who behave inappropriately or that hinder to forward progression of the production. Dancers who continue to undermine the artistic integrity and safety of the production by exhibiting negative attitudes towards casting or rehearsals standards forfeit their roles and may be immediately dismissed from the production without any refunded money. A dancer may be dismissed from the production for violating any of the following:
In general, the cost of Nutcracker production is about $30,000. All performers are required to participate in a minimum level of fundraising that will be discussed in detail at the mandatory parent meeting. We do have an option to opt-out of fundraising for a flat fee.
One photographer and one videographer may be hired by City Youth Ballet to photograph and make a video of this production. Parents will not be allowed to video or photograph any rehearsals or performances. Photos and DVDs may be available for you to purchase. Parents/Performers may not create their own social media campaigns for the Nutcracker. We do encourange you to share ours. Strict copyright laws are in effect for this production and must be enforced.
City Youth Ballet is supported entirely by volunteers. The opportunity for your dancer to experience The Nutcracker ballet is only possible because of these great volunteers! Because volunteers are the key to a successful production, it is required that ALL Nutcracker participant families fill at least one volunteer position during the season. One person may be on multiple committees. Committee assignments will be discussed at the mandatory parent meeting.
Financial Assistance is based upon need and is designed to permit a limited number of qualified dancers to be a part of the Nutcracker. It is available through CYB Financial Assistance. A family with limited resources who feel they may qualify for aid should request an application and requirements prior to the audition date. At that time an independent committee will review all financial assistance requests and allocate funds. You will be notified of your amount. Please reach out to info@cityyouthballet.com.
