CALL FOR DANCERS!

Nacre Dance Group is looking for dancers (ages 13 and up) to perform at “Sip, Savor, and Swirl” at the Universal Preservation Hall on August 3rd at 7:30pm.

The dancers will participate in two pieces. One will be inspired by the tradition of “wine stomping” formerly known as “treading."  The other piece will be a restaging of Isadora Duncan’s "Bacchanal" which celebrates Bacchus - the God of Wine. There will be no consumption of wine that involves the students.

Rehearsals will be intensive during the week of 7/29-8/2 from 10 am - 3 pm at Saratoga City Ballet studios. Since this is a short rehearsal period, dancers must be available for the entire week.

The performance is on Saturday, 8/3 at 7:30 and the dress rehearsal will take place during that same day.

Submit your application by May 30th using the button below. If selected, there will be a $275 participation fee (which can be paid using the form below.)
