Tulsa Ballet is committed to ensuring the health and safety of our dancers and students and to safeguard our ability to perform. As of 2025, students will not need to test for Covid-19 prior to performances or any rehearsals involving company dancers. – Any student who tests positive for Covid-19 will be required to follow the current CDC guidelines and recommendations for isolation and masking. – Tulsa Ballet reserves the right to re-instate Covid-19 testing protocols if an increase in cases appear during rehearsals and performances. Children should be age 6 or older on audition day. Height requirements of 3’10”-5’10” are due to size of costumes. Tulsa Ballet’s The Nutcracker, is a professional production. As such, children cast in this production will be expected to follow the rules and etiquette as required for a professional production. Lauren Richter, School Director, will review these expectations with parents in more detail at our scheduled Parent Orientations, however, please know that children will be expected to attend all rehearsals and performances as called, and to be focused and attentive in and out of the studio. Your children will be working with professional artists who have extensive experience in their respective roles and who will guide, teach and rehearse your children to ensure they have a positive experience performing with Tulsa Ballet. Children who miss rehearsals due to illness must communicate their absence before the rehearsal and children who miss too many or key rehearsals, for any reason, may lose their opportunity to perform. We recognize that the opportunity to perform in The Nutcracker requires an enormous commitment from families, and encourage everyone to ensure that they are able to commit to this project. We respect that this may not be the year that every family will want to make this project their first priority and adjust their children’s school, extra-curricular activities and family engagements to facilitate. If not, we hope to see your children audition in the future.
