[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First year here. If you’re in the B cast next weekend can it be assumed are you then like either AMETHYST - EMERALD - PEARL cast? [/quote]

When I had two young girls in the nutcracker, we were the ruby cast my daughter was a snow angel, and she was in Group A. My other daughter was a Bee. I will be the first one to admit that there is absolutely no dancing skill in these roles. No way to differentiate. If you’re that bad they don’t have to cast you.

Donna has said over and again that they put siblings in the same cast and I strongly feel that my kids were in ruby cast because they were siblings not because they were the best dancers.

They did get opening night!

The next year one of my girls moved to a competitive dance team, so I just had one dancer. She was the emerald cast. Two other dancers in her role got two jewels. Objectively there was nothing better about those dancers. I know at least, in one case they had siblings.

Those dancers were ruby, sapphire, amethyst, diamond. Take from that what you will.

The Washington School of Ballet could be so much better and maybe I’m getting my hopes up, but maybe the new Director can finally create a challenging program for young dancers.

It’s really not a strong curriculum they don’t advance dancers by skill, and they work extremely slow. I know this from former ballet teachers, professional, ballet dancers.

Septime will be back to update costumes and rework some things with The Nutcracker. I miss him.
