Auditions for A Midsummer Night’s Dream May 14th

May 4, 2022 by Amy Fortier

2:30pm-3:30pm Levels 6-7 and new adults 
(existing company members need not audition)
Audition fee is $25 with cash or check payable to Ballet Misha.

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 6th at The Concord Audi  

Sunday, August 7th 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.

Friday, June 3rd between 4-8pm  (We will schedule around Acro classes)

Friday June 10th, between 4-8pm  (We will schedule around Acro classes)

Tuesday June 14th, 4-8pm

Tuesday June 21st 4-8pm

Tuesday July 12th 4-8pm

Tuesday July 19th 4-8pm

Tuesday August 2nd 4-8pm

Possible Studio Dress rehearsal Friday August 5th

Dance Class Requirements during the Summer Session:

Requirements include taking a minimum of one weekly ballet class for dancers in Levels 1- 5 , and two weekly ballet classes and a pointe class for dancers Level 6 and 7.

The school year ends June 11th and the Summer Session will begin June 13th.

The Summer sessions runs as follows:

Seven Week Summer Schedule  

Weeks of June 13th, June 20th , July 11th, July 18th, July 25th, August 1st, August 8th  

(Closed June 24-July 10th)

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

Performance Fees:

$120 for dancers aged 11 and younger

$150 for dancers aged 12 and older

(Payable by cash or check made out to Ballet Misha)

If there is financial difficulty in paying an audition and performance fee, please talk with Amy.
