NUTCRACKER REMIXED 2026
Rehearsal Updates & Studio Reminders
Week of October 19–25
This Week's Rehearsals
We're continuing to make great progress on Nutcracker Remixed! Thank you for all the hard work you're putting in, both in class and at rehearsals.
Please review the entire rehearsal schedule carefully. Some dancers have multiple rehearsals, and Sunday's rehearsals are organized side by side by studio. Check your dancer's name, rehearsal time, location, and any special notes.
We now have one master rehearsal schedule rather than several different versions. Please use the link below for this week's information.
Rehearsal Schedule — October 19–25
Includes weekday rehearsals in Montrose and Ridgway, plus Sunday's studio-by-studio schedule.
Important Rehearsal Updates
Party Scene Leads — Optional Weekday Practice
Pang has made wonderful progress with the Party Scene! Additional weekday practice with her classes is now optional for Party Scene leads. Dancers are welcome to attend whenever their schedules allow.
Sugar Plum Attendants — No Additional Rehearsal This Sunday
Sugar Plum Attendants will not have an additional rehearsal this Sunday, October 25. They'll continue practicing during their regular classes, and Pang will coordinate with Tajiana.
Other Scheduled Rehearsals
Unless a rehearsal is specifically marked optional, dancers are expected to attend their assigned rehearsals.
Studio Locations
Montrose — New Dance Studio
28 West South 4th Street, Montrose, CO
All numbered studios (Studio 1, 2, 3, etc.) are in Montrose.
Ridgway — Old Schoolhouse
Ridgway rehearsals are specifically labeled on the schedule.
Away Dates & Attendance
We're working around reported absences as much as possible, but with so many dancers, partners, and group scenes, we need everyone's help keeping rehearsals productive.
Please submit planned absences at least one week in advance. If you already know about a future conflict, please submit it now. For last-minute absences, notify your teacher directly as well.
Self-Led Practice Reminders
Self-led rehearsals are opportunities for dancers to work independently with their assigned partners or groups. Unless marked optional, these are scheduled practice times.
- Arrive prepared with your music and reference videos.
- Review choreography, timing, transitions, and previously taught material.
- Use mats for skills that are not yet secure. Mats are available in Studio 4; please return them when finished.
- Wait for a teacher before attempting lifts or partnering skills that require supervision.
Practice Videos & Show Orders
Keep practicing at home! Our show orders include music and video links, and the reference video folder has additional material to help dancers remember their choreography and get into character.
Studio Reminder: No Gum
Please help us protect our new dance floors. No gum is allowed in the studio. Thank you for helping keep our new space clean!
Thank you for your flexibility, dedication, and enthusiasm as we continue settling into our new studio and bringing this production together!
