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 November 25 through December 1. Rehearsals are scheduled on Sunday mornings and will take place at the Victoria Academy of Ballet. 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 dancer will have the opportunity to perform in full costume with the Royal Winnipeg Ballet on the Royal Theatre stage.

Please note that an audition fee of $25 will be applied to each child registered to audition. If accepted, each child will be charged an additional rehearsal fee of $60. These fees help offset costs associated with the professional instruction and rehearsal studio rental.
 
The Nutcracker Children's Ensemble is sponsored by the Victoria Academy of Ballet.
