Class Information

This class is for students who wish to participate in our annual professional Christmas production! "A Christmas Dream" is by audition only, and only students in: Pre-Ballet Beginning Ballet, Ballet IA, or Ballet IB are eligible to audition for this class. Levels IC and above must audition for MYB or MYB Junior in order to participate in the Christmas productions.

Details:

Enrollment in this class requires 1 year of prior ballet training, a commitment to participate in the Christmas production and consistent class attendance. Dress Rehearsal will most likely be on December 17th with performances on December 18th-20th.

Enrollment in this class does not guarantee casting in the “A Christmas Dream” production. You will need to attend the audition on Wed, Sept 9th from 5:00-6:00pm. If you are not cast, you be will credited the fee for this class and not charged the extra tuition for the semester.

Tuition:

The cost of this class is a one-time $55 production fee and an additional $25 per month for tuition September-December.

Dress Code:

Every student should wear the same attire as they do for their ballet classes.

Being a member of either Magnificat Youth Ballet or Magnificat Youth Ballet Junior company is a high calling and commitment.  There is an expectancy for these students to attend weekly and sometimes monthly rehearsals in addition to their regular classes each week.  Discipleship training/Bible study time may be included into each group’s monthly responsibilities.  Because these are performing groups with the sole purpose of sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ through dance, acceptance into either group is by audition only.  Members and their parents are asked to read and sign a covenant agreement for the school year regarding expectations of the group.  These groups perform regularly at area events, nursing homes, schools, and churches; the mission being to bring Jesus to our community through dance and personal interaction. If students are interested in auditioning but a little unsure if they are ready to commit to one of these groups, we still welcome them to try out! After the audition, students will find out the following week if they are invited to be part of one of the groups. If they are accepted, they will still need to let us know if they are planning to participate so there is plenty of time to decide on committing or not to a performing group.
