Registration for The Nutcracker Performance 2023
click on the link below to register
Terpsichore, the Millis MS/HS Dance Club, is excited to be accepting registrations for their 15th Annual Production of the Nutcracker. We have roles for dancers with no experience all the way through advance, and time commitments from as little as just coming the week of the dress rehearsal (reindeer) all the way through having so many roles that you are rehearsing 5-7 hours a week.
There is no cost to register or participate, and registrations will be accepted on an ongoing basis until all roles are filled, but of course an early registration increases the likelihood of your dancer being selected for the roles they are most interested in.
Rehearsal will start for older dancer roles Friday September 8, and many other roles will start rehearsing the week after that (September 12 - 16). If you have any questions, reach out to Stephanie Copice at scopice@millisschools.org subject line "Nutcracker 2023".*****
