Moscow Ballet’s Seattle auditions will be held at American Dance Institute's Shoreline studio on Monday, September 10, 2018.

The Moscow Ballet hopes to cast between 65-100 local dancers for the 2018 production. The 65 dancers cast in the 2017 production were from as far north as Everett and south to Federal Way.

For over 25 years The Moscow Ballet has performed their brilliant The Great Russian Nutcracker. This year they will give 140 performances in November and December all across the US and Canada. They will be in Seattle for two performances in 2018.

American Dance Institute of Seattle and Shoreline WA serves as host for the Moscow Ballet's auditions and rehearses the dancers for the Seattle performances.
