This year, the performance will feature a reimagined Act I where audience members will have a glimpse of Katherine Halle’s <em>Winter Wonderland, </em>a special look at what happens after her family’s party and before the baseball battle between the Mouse King and the Nutcracker. The new Act I will feature tap, jazz, hip-hop, and contemporary dances; dancers with experience in those genres are encouraged to audition! Dancers auditioning for pointe roles, including Act I<em> Snow</em> and Act II <em>Waltz of the Flowers</em>, should wear their pointe shoes to audition. Potential dancers do not need to be students at Cleveland City Dance; however, students must be enrolled in class at their current studio or Cleveland City Dance during the rehearsal process.
