Night Before Christmas Performance
We are excited to provide performance opportunities for ALL our fully enrolled students age 5+! Performances require a greater time commitment: MANDATORY rehearsals OUTSIDE OF CLASS including an in-studio run-through and on-stage spacing and dress rehearsal. Solid attendance, punctuality, and proactive parental assistance are REQUIRED of cast members. (Please make careful note of the performance agreement on the website when enrolling in this class. If you fail to meet your commitments, no refund will be offered.) This year, Ballet Aligned is hoping to provide most of the performance leos. Fees will cover your participation, unlimited portrait and on-stage images of the production, and a video link of the performance. If you have any additional questions, please text them to Ballet Aligned at 435.633.1225.
