Dear Parents,
It’s hard to believe, but winter is just around the corner! If you are receiving this email, your child is enrolled in a ballet class. All dancers 3 and up participate in the Annual Nutcracker Suite. If you your child is in ballet, but not 3 or above, please disregard this email.
Doors will open 20 minutes beforehand at 10:40AM.
Dancers should dress as they do for ballet class in leotard (color of their class), tights and ballet slippers, hair pulled back in a bun or ponytail.
The dancers are dropped off early so that they can run the show once before the performance at 11:00am. This will allow them to become comfortable with the stage. Pretzels and water will be provided for the children between rehearsal and show time. We encourage families to plan for the 90 minute interim between drop-off and seating. If you do not live nearby, you may want to grab a bite to eat at one of the local restaurants.
4:00-4:45pm – Flowers, Mother Ginger, Chinese, Marizpan
4:00-4:45pm – Dolls, Dolls, Party Scene, Angels
Please let your teacher know, or email jordan.discoveryprograms@
You will receive individual email reminders of when your child is supposed to come to rehearsal.
All dancers have two complimentary tickets to the performance. Families can also purchase additional tickets tickets at the Front Desk on a first come, first serve basis. Ticket sales begin, October 26th.
Families must pick up/purchase all tickets by December 3rd. There will be no will-call on the day of the performance. Each additional ticket $15 for adults and $10 for children, cash or check only. If you are interested in purchasing more than 4 additional tickets (6 total including the 2 complimentary), please contact the Jordan, jordan.discoveryprograms@
Your child was assigned a dance number in the Suite according to their class time, and will learn a performance routine during class. The children look forward to this event every year, so be sure to encourage them to practice at home!
