Welcome back to all our Academy students and families! I hope everyone had a fantastic summer! We are so excited to have everyone back in our studios and hallways.
As we embark upon this Academy year, I cannot help but boast a bit about the many exciting opportunities coming up for our students. Young Performers Cast rehearsals are already in full swing for Cincinnati Ballet's The Nutcracker as are rehearsals for Romeo and Juliet. You will also begin to hear a bit of buzz about the new Family Series production of Beauty and the Beast coming up in April 2018. This is our first mainstage performance exclusively featuring the Second Company and Academy students! I am beyond thrilled to have our students partake in this excellent production. More information will follow on this exciting opportunity.
I'm also thrilled to announce that last year's highly successful Academy Nutcracker & Holiday Party is becoming an annual tradition. The event returns on December 10th with multiple show offerings due to such high demand. Please mark your calendars for this festive event!
As you can see, we have a busy and eventful year ahead! We wish you all a fantastic season!
