Loudoun Ballet Company - Nutcracker Rehearsal Policy

Maureen Miller - Artistic Director

The Nutcracker - Rehearsal Policy

The Loudoun Ballet Company strives for excellence in all its performances. To achieve the level of professionalism necessary to meet our goals we require a commitment from the company members, other performers, parents, community, as well as staff and board members.

Rehearsals are not open to the public, however, parents and siblings are encouraged to stay for rehearsals at the performance site. There will not be time to permit discussion concerning individual performers with the artistic staff. Additionally, siblings are to be carefully supervised by the parent at all times.

• Rehearsal Attendance is Expected! Cast A is to attend Cast B rehearsals, and vice versa.

• Date and time schedules were distributed with contracts. Arrange your schedule accordingly.

• Any changes will be posted on the LBC website and on the LBC bulletin board at Loudoun School of Ballet.

• Late arrivals and early departures are not acceptable.

• Roles may be reassigned when dancers miss rehearsals.

• Silence in the auditorium during rehearsals.

• Clean up is every performer's responsibility - including toe tape, band-aids, clothing, water bottles,

food wrappers, etc.
