Dear Horsam Dance Ensemble Co. members

It’s time once again to prepare for our annual presentation of the Nutcracker “The Kingdom of the sweets.”  Anyone dancing with the company must take a minimum of

 2 Ballet classes per week.  Once again Saturday classes will be held and the cost is still $10.00 per class paid by the week.  If you are taking unlimited classes you do not have to pay this fee.  The rehearsal fee is listed below.  This is NOT included in the unlimited class rate.  If you are taking the Saturday class as your 2nd. Ballet class, please have an alternate class during the week that you can attend when Saturday class is canceled due to extra rehearsal time needed.   Saturday classes are MANDATORY from September through December.  The list below is the cast list for this year’s show.  The casting was based on the commitment letters I received.  If anyone is not on the list but is interested please let me know.
