  • How to register for auditions:

    • Select “Nutcracker” Season using the tabs on Dance Studio Pro.

    • Register your dancer(s) for the appropriate age group. Dancers who have at least 2 years of pointe experience should register for the “en pointe” audition group.

    • If you have any issues please email us at cornerstonebaletsc@gmail.com

    While placement is not guaranteed we strive to find a place for dancers of all skill levels to perform in our Nutcracker.

    Tchaikovsky’s beloved Christmas classic “The Nutcracker” tells the story of Clara, a girl who receives a nutcracker as a Christmas present. In this fairy tale, toys come to life and battle an army of mice. Clara and her nutcracker, transformed into a prince, travel into the Land of Sweets, where they are treated by the Sugar Plum Fairy and sweets representing nations around the world.

  • Cornerstone Ballet Performing Arts is a 501(c)(3) non profit organization with a focus on making classical ballet accessible to all demographics in our community.

    A portion of all ticket sales and all donations go directly to our scholarship fund. This fund is designed to help dancers who typically would not be able to afford classical ballet training have access to classes, equipment and performance opportunities they otherwise wouldn’t be able to.

    If you are interested in joining us in our mission or would like to make a donation to the scholarship fund please contact us at Cornerstonebaletpac@gmail.com.
