The Steadfast Tin Soldier Participation
Dance Fremont students in levels Preparatory and up are invited to audition for our winter production of excerpts from A Steadfast Tin Soldier, A Story Ballet Saturday, September 7th, 2024. Our winter performance opportunity is a treasured experience for generations of Dance Fremont students, and we highly encourage students to participate!

We are scheduled to perform the weekend of December 14. Please make winter break travel plans accordingly!

In order to have the best possible experience, dancers and their families should consider the time commitment carefully ahead of time. The 2024 Performer Packet will be finalized after the audition, and we will not have information about the schedule for specific levels until after the audition and casting have been completed. Generally speaking, dancers will rehearse on Saturday afternoons, and dancers in level 6 will also have Tuesday evening rehearsals. Because of limited rehearsal time, absences beyond 1 may result in a dancer not performing; rehearsals attended via Zoom do not count as an absence. Required rehearsals - no absences allowed - include the Sunday after Thanksgiving, the last Saturday before the show, and all theater rehearsals the week of the performances.
