The Sleeping Beauty

Ballet

Board

Dear Students and Parents,

I am thrilled to announce the cast of The Sleeping Beauty. I spent a great deal of time casting the roles, and feel confident that each student will individually shine in the choreography given to them. Please remember that I considered many factors when casting including attendance (past and future), attitude and work-ethic in class, improvement this semester, knowledge of the choreography, and the dancer's style and confidence. While actually casting the dancers in roles adds a unique element to Spring Showcase, all of the students agreed that they enjoyed Rodeo so much last year that they wanted to do another "mini-ballet" this year. I think this year's performance will be wonderful.

Understudies were cast for most roles. In the case of excessive unexcused absences by an original cast member, an understudy will replace them for Spring Showcase. If a student has an excessive amount of absences not listed on their conflict sheet, they may be removed from the cast entirely. Spring Showcase is a reflection of work done this semester, and if the student has not been in class very regularly, they will not perform.

There will be two staging rehearsals forThe Sleeping Beauty the two days prior to Spring Showcase. Paperwork with times and details of these rehearsals will be handed out during Observation Week. Spring Showcase is May 3. The Sleeping Beauty will be performed at 6:00 p.m.

There will be an opportunity for older dancers to help paint and construct the set and also assist with making head pieces. Details on dates and times are coming soon.

Congratulations! Now the hard work really begins!
