As it begins its 34th season, the Dancing Arts Center is proud to announce and invite you to its annual holiday dance concert auditions Saturday, September 15, 2012, at its studio on 9 Whitney Street in Holliston from 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.

An important information meeting will be held from 2:30 - 3:30 p.m. where interested children and adults can participate in a question and answer session with the choreographers, the director, stage manager and wardrobe manager.

This year’s performance, featuring ETA Hoffman’s The Nutcracker, to be staged by Patrick Notaro and Gregg Saulnier, is the first of four concerts produced annually by the Dancing Arts Center. Choreographers are auditioning to fill roles in The Nutcracker, as well as several contemporary pieces that will open the show and be created by resident choreographers Yolanda Daelemans (tap), Nikki Dellicolli (hip hop), and Karyn Edison and Karen Krolak (modern).

Participation in the Holiday Dance Concert is magical: beautiful scenery, professional lighting, sparkling costumes, and smiling faces of children and adults capturing the audience’s hearts.  This is the experience we all wish for, and this is what it will be on performance days.

Anyone ages six through adult may audition. Non-dancers with stage presence are encouraged to audition for a walk-on role for The Nutcracker. 

Rehearsals leading up to the performance will be held sometime between 3:30 and 6:00 p.m. on Saturdays.  Main roles begin September 22; others begin later in the season from October to November depending on the role.  Performances are planned for December 14 through the 16, 2012.
