Successful dancers will be selected by a Royal Winnipeg Ballet artist via the audition process and receive weekly professional training over a two-month period starting in mid-October and culminating with on-stage rehearsals and performances the week of December 2 through December 4. Rehearsals are scheduled on Sunday mornings and will take place at Dance Victoria Studios. Attendance at all rehearsals is mandatory.
 
The children are an integral part of the production, performing as polar bears, angels, partygoers and more. Every successful proponent will have the opportunity to perform onstage with the Royal Winnipeg Ballet and the Victoria Symphony in full costume under the lights at the Royal Theatre.
