Performing with the Westchester Ballet Company
LDA Students Performing with the Westchester Ballet Company
Academy ballet students may be eligible to audition for Westchester Ballet Company, a separate not-for-profit organization, and perform in its annual Nutcracker production.
Artistic Directors Beth Fritz-Logrea and Jean Logrea audition dancers each September for company membership and participation in The Nutcracker, a unique opportunity for Academy dancers to appear in a professionally staged ballet. For more information on The Nutcracker, see the special section on this performance opportunity in this handbook.
WBC spring performance casting is announced after a January audition open to current junior and senior company members.
Rehearsals
Rehearsals for WBC Members in the spring production will begin in January, following the audition. These rehearsals take place in the evenings or Saturday afternoons. A rehearsal schedule will be posted on the LDA Information Page and in the LDA reception area.
The first 3 rehearsals may not be missed, and after that only 3 absences (excused or unexcused) are allowed.
If your child feels he or she cannot keep this schedule, please notify the office and the student will be placed with a different performing class that does not have as heavy a rehearsal schedule as WBC. (Please note, however, their performance may not be on pointe.)
Stage rehearsals and dress rehearsals for any of these performances cannot be missed. All students must attend their dress rehearsal in its entirety to be able to perform. There are no exceptions to this rule.
Tickets
Tickets for ballet concert and cabaret performances are reserved seating and go on sale at least 3 weeks prior to the performance.
Videotaping and Photographs
Videotaping is not permitted during rehearsals or concert performances because of privacy and copyright issues.
As indicated on your signed contract form, you have given permission to Logrea Dance Academy to photograph and videotape your classes and performances and use these images for studio advertising and promotion.
No other photographer or videographer besides those we employ has permission to take pictures of our facilities, our dancers, or our choreographic works.
Professionally produced videotapes and DVDs of our concert and cabaret performances are available for purchase, and order forms are available at the studio and the auditorium at concert time.
Senior dancers who need to compile audition tapes for professional companies or summer and college dance programs, and who wish to videotape their performance for this purpose, should notify us at least a month in advance of their concert, so that the necessary arrangements and releases can be completed
