Be a part of “Not your normal Nutcracker” performances taking place at the Malibu Playhouse, November 17th & 18th (exact performance times TBA).
Nikki & Ethan White have brought you several productions including Peter Pan – youtube.com/watch?v=TAO01B4OcDk, and the Flash Mob at this years Chili Cook Off- malibutimes.com/malibu_life/article_8987c26e
Nutcracker has always included stylized versions of ethnic dances within the divertissements. We intend to include a wider range of genres in the whole story. We are going to have a wide variety of dance styles (ballet, hip-hop, tap, jazz), ages, as well as bringing in spoken word, gymnastics, maybe even karate!
Auditions take place Thursday, September 20th from 3:15-4:15 OR Saturday, September 22nd from 10:45-11:45. (spoiler alert – everyone gets a part 🙂
Rehearsals are on Thursdays from 3:15-4:15 OR Saturdays from 10:45-11:45. Not everyone will be needed for the full hour every week so you must be on the lookout for emails prior to each rehearsal that will give you your child’s rehearsal schedule. There may be additional nutcracker rehearsals on Thursdays from 5-5:30 or Saturdays 12:30-1pm but only if needed (would only be used for older and/or guest dancers).
Along with putting together the production, Nikki & Ethan are offering dance classes. If you are looking for a dance class for a dancer older than 9 please let us know. If we have enough demand for a certain age we have the option to add another class.
Classes, auditions, rehearsals and performances (Nov 17th & 18th) will all take place at the Malibu Playhouse – 29243 Pacific Coast Hwy, Malibu, CA 90265
