Rehearsal Process:
All dancers will have the opportunity to be in both corps de ballet pieces: Waltz of the Flowers and Snow. Each piece will have a beginner and intermediate section. Dancers will be placed based on placement class and dancer input. Rehearsals  for Northwest Arkansas will run on Sunday afternoons at NWA Conservatory of Classical Ballet in Bentonville, AR. All rehearsals will be recorded and can be made up by watching the recording. Dancers not local to NWA, can participate virtually during the rehearsal season. Dancers local to Jonesboro, AR will have access to local rehearsals during the rehearsal season. Dancers are responsible for knowing their choreography if they miss rehearsals. Questions are welcome outside of rehearsal if needed.

All Dancers will receive:

• Instructional Videos for their part taught from the back view.

• Stage diagrams to understand stage formations

• Access to in-person or live virtual rehearsals

Upon casting, a complete rehearsal schedule will be released along with a conflict notification form. As adults, we understand our lives are busy and work hard to keep expectations transparent up front. We try our best to not change any rehearsals times after the start of production season.
