Local “angels” share the stage with the Sugar Plum Fairy — portrayed by Pacific Northwest Ballet principal dancer Louise Nadeau — during a previous Lafayette Ballet Theatre performance of The Nutcracker.
Lafayette Ballet Theatre invites area dancers to audition Sunday, September 7th, for its December full-length ballet production of The Nutcracker. Auditions will take place at Angelle Hall, located at the corner of St. Mary Blvd. and McKinley Street on the UL Lafayette campus.
To qualify for audition, a dancer must be at least 8 years old; have completed at least one year of ballet study; and be studying ballet currently in an established dance program. Audition times vary according to the dancer’s age and skill level, as follows:
▪ Beginner and Intermediate Levels, ages 8-10: 1-3 p.m.
▪ Intermediate and Advanced Levels, ages 11-14: 3-5 p.m.
▪ Advanced (no pointe work), ages 15-adult: 5-5:30 p.m.
▪ Advanced Pointe (pre-professionals/professionals): 5:30-7 p.m.
Beginning/Intermediate level dancers should arrive one half hour prior to the start of the audition period listed. Advanced level dancers should arrive at least one hour in advance. All dancers should wear ballet attire and be prepared to stay for the duration of the audition period as listed on the schedule. A $20 registration fee is required of all dancers ages 8 to 17 at the time of audition. Please make checks payable to Lafayette Ballet Theatre or bring exact change.
The Lafayette Ballet Theatre — along with internationally acclaimed guest artists — will present performances of the holiday classic The Nutcracker Saturday, December 6th, and Sunday, December 7th, at the Heymann Performing Arts Center.
