A Midsummer Night’s Dream is a magical ballet inspired by Shakespeare’s play.  It is filled with fairies, magic, comedy and love, and we are so excited to be bringing it back this summer!  We hope to see all of our ballet students at auditions!

Auditions are open to dancers in Ballet levels 1-7.  We are opening auditions to outside dancers who would fit into a comparable level, so please pass this on.

Performances:

Saturday, August 6^th at The Concord Audi  

Sunday, August 7^th at The Fells Estate.  Performance time TBA.   

Saturday, September 18th: There is the possibility we will perform excerpts of this ballet on Saturday, September 18th at the Manchester Arts Festival.  We ask that all dancers try their best to save this date.  We know college students will not be available.

Rehearsals:

These are blocks of time.  Each group can expect to rehearse for approximately 1.5 hours during these windows.  More rehearsals will be added only if needed.

There is a first draft summer schedule below.  This could change slightly, but gives you an approximate idea.

We understand sometimes families already have vacations planned, so missing a rehearsal will be permissible.  However, if you would miss more than one rehearsal, you will need prior approval to audition.

Ideal vacation timing would be during the five weeks the studio is closed:

June 24^th-July 10^th, and August 13^th– September 5^th

$120 for dancers aged 11 and younger

$150 for dancers aged 12 and older
