Noteworthy
1. The warm up classes are student led. You are welcome to take this class, or warm up on your own at the theater or studio earlier in the day.
2. As you know, I wear many hats during Nutcracker—tickets, marketing, artistic director, crew, and more—which means I’m mostly hands-off when it comes to the guest artists. Once we’re at the theater, the older dancers will be available to help assist you if I’m occupied with other matters.
Thank you for your understanding and flexibility during this busy time!
