Nutcracker auditions are back!

fdt nutcracker audition
The Florida Dance Theatre is excited to announce that once again our auditions for The Nutcracker are open to the public. We are thrilled to see the very many talented dancers from our local area join us for this time-honored and treasured holiday performance. Our role in the community is to encourage the art of dance not just with our Dance Academy students and the Company but also those dancers working so very hard across the county.
 
The Nutcracker is our largest and most attended holiday event. Taking place at the Branscomb Memorial Auditorium on Florida Southern College's campus December 17th, 18th, & 19th. The seats are filled with friends, family, arts enthusiasts and community partners. This year's performance will be our largest production for so many reasons but the most obvious is to celebrate the strength, sustainability and endurance of our dancers and community during the pandemic. 

We can't wait to see your faces and welcome you to submit your audition application today. Dancers must be 3 years of age and older to apply. Bring your headshot to your audition and don't forget your pointe shoes. Rehearsals will begin Saturday, September 11th.

Complete your audition application as soon as possible. Auditions will take place August 21st.
