Students should arrive 10 minutes before their scheduled class and be picked up promptly when they are finished. Maintaining a tight schedule is very difficult when students arrive late for class.

Tuition is due by your child's first scheduled class of the month. Tuition not paid by the 10th of the month will have a $10 late fee added. A $25 fee will be charged for returned checks. Monthly tuition is based on a year's fee and is split into nine equal monthly payments.

The Nutcracker
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Presented by Southwest VA Ballet, Roanoke Performing Arts Theatre, on Saturday, December 10th, 2011 - and Sunday, December 11th, 2011. .
The Nutcracker’s beautiful music, lush scenery and lavish costumes set the perfect backdrop for E.T.A. Hoffmann’s timeless story. Young imaginations will be sparked and audiences of all ages delighted as a Christmas tree grows to huge proportions, mice and soldiers battle, and waltzing Snowflakes whirl about amidst “real” falling snow. Children will especially enjoy seeing candies and sweets from exotic lands come to life and a gigantic Mother Ginger as she plays with her many ginger children.
This year will mark Southwest Virginia Ballet’s fifteenth performance of The Nutcracker, a holiday tradition for many families, and core part of the region’s Christmas festivities. According to Mike Lawson, SVB Executive Director, the cast of 160 represents more than 50 area schools from across the Greater Roanoke Valley. The Nutcracker brings neighboring communities together in support of the performing arts. It creates opportunities for youth to perform in the most well-known and beloved story ballet of all times. It carries forward a holiday tradition that has endured for over 100 years. And for many area residents, having a chance to dance in The Nutcracker is simply a dream come true.
