Performances

The Nutcracker: December 16-18, 2021

We are excited to bring back The Nutcracker this year! Our traditional Christmas ballet has become something Prosser looks forward to. All Trinity Dance Prosser students, as well as ballet students enrolled through Familiaris Fine Arts, are welcome to participate. Students ages 7+ attend an audition and are placed in roles appropriate for their level. Students under the age of 7 do not need to audition, just sign up. Everyone who signs up / auditions receives at least one role. There are also some acting roles available for boys and adults. We especially need a couple of teenage / young adult guys to do the partnering roles of Snow King and Cavalier (no dance experience necessary).

Nutcracker rehearsals are on Saturdays throughout the fall. A full schedule will be available before auditions. Your practice schedule depends on the roles given. There is a $60 participation fee per student, with a maximum fee of $120 per family. Usual admission rates apply to the performance. Comp tickets can be earned by volunteering to help in various ways with the show.

Classical Showcase: March 25-26, 2022 (tentative dates)

This is a brand new addition to our schedule. I am incorporating classical repertoire into ballet curriculum for all levels, but especially focusing on it in Beginning 2 and up. Learning classical repertoire helps dancers think outside the box of their usual technique, learn new and challenging steps, as well as develop artistry. These upper classes will be learning four solo variations and one corps piece from classical ballets. In the showcase, the class will perform the corps piece, and four students will be chosen to perform the four solos. There is NO extra cost to participate in this performance. All profits from this performance will be split between our scholarship / financal aid program and a local charitable cause or organization.

Recital 2021: Epic Adventures in Dance
June 23-25, 2022 (tentative dates)

Recital is our main event each year. This is the one the students are preparing for all year long, and sort of brings everything together and allows them to show family and friends what they have learned. All classes participate with at least one dance (older students do several pieces). This year's recital is going to be exciting, high energy, and super fun! Recital costuming fees are $55-$75 and includes one costume to keep. Usual admission rates apply to the performance. Comp tickets can be earned by volunteering to help in various ways with the show.
