Performance Fee

Non-refundable performance fees are due by August 21, 2023. A $25.00 late fee will be assessed if fees are not paid by August 23, 2023. Students who do not pay their fees by August 25, 2023 will be removed from the cast. Students that have not paid the performance fee may not participate in rehearsals. Missed rehearsals due to unpaid fees will count as an unexcused absence and put the dancer at risk of losing their roles.

Performance fees are based on dancer’s highest level of participation. For instance, if a dancer is cast as a Snowflake (corps de ballet) and the Soldier Doll in Act 1 (character artists), the dancer’s performance fee would be $450.

Performance fee discounts are available for families with 2 or more participants. Please email support@eliseflagg.com.

Performance fees assist with production costs including costumes, choreographers, venue rental, etc.

All rehearsals are mandatory. Please do not audition if you are unable to commit to the full rehearsal schedule and all performance dates.

Dancers participating in the production must be able to show proof of enrollment in a dance program, that includes ballet. EFAD reserves the right to not accept a dancer’s proof of enrollment for any reason.
