Albany Dance & Fitness (ADF) is planning a virtual performance of “Excerpts from the Nutcracker,” which will be broadcast from the ADF studios via Zoom in early January 2021 (Date and Time TBA).
Audition, rehearsals and the performance will all take place at the studio, in adherence with COVID-19 guidelines. The audition will be open to dancers ages 13+ and of all levels of dance experience.
Audition
Nutcracker auditions will be held at the studio on Saturday, October 17th. Forty-five minute time slots are available for sign up (no drop-ins). The audition will consist of a short ballet barre warm-up and center floor combinations. Please wear something you are comfortable dancing in and bring your ballet shoes!
Rehearsals
Please try to keep Friday evenings after 5 PM and Saturday afternoons after 2 PM free! Rehearsal information will be distributed with casting shortly following auditions.
Audition fee: $20
Rehearsal and Performance fee: $65
COVID Guidelines
ADF is committed to keeping all of its dancers and instructors safe during this time. Nutcracker dancers new to the ADF studio will be required to fill out our Liability waiver. Our dancers and instructors are also required to wear a face covering while in the studio (audition and rehearsals, unless drinking water). Temperature will also be taken upon arrival.
ADF staff clean the studio before and after every class to ensure your safety. ADF is also proud to announce that the Merv-13 filtration system has been recently installed in our studio for extra safety and protection of our dancers.
We hope you will join us for our Excerpts from the Nutcracker!
